PHRA on WPXI Talking Pittsburgh!


The People Do Matter Awards, initiated in 2000, focused on recognizing innovative HR practices at organizations in Southwestern PA. In an effort to freshen up the program, the PHRA has designed a campaign for 2014-2015 to motivate and inspire leadership in the Pittsburgh region to consider employee-centered work practices.
 

Welcome to "Engaging Pittsburgh: It's All About the People!" - a fresh take on building a reciprocal relationship between employers and employees. The award portion of the program is alive and well - with a twist. The award categories have been created to inspire and drive creativity of organizations in the region.

The finalists' initiatives offer best practices in categories such as "Help Them Thrive," "Magnify Their Success" and "Make Them Fearless." Jennifer Ploskina, PHRA's VP/Engaging Pittsburgh, notes, "We only hope that more organizations in the region are inspired and motivated to consider such programming in their own workplaces to encourage, appreciate and develop employees to be the best version of themselves."
 

"It's important for employers and their leadership teams to understand the link between a successful organization and its employees' performance," said PHRA's President, Mike Toney. This year's Engaging Pittsburgh finalists gave their employees the opportunity to grow, develop, and reach greater levels of success personally, professionally and for the organization. This year's Engaging Pittsburgh finalists support employee involvement, life-long-learning initiatives, gave ideas for improved work life balance, as well as recognition to employees for reaching and successfully achieving personal and company goals."
