The BQF Achievement Awards aim to promote and recognise exceptional achievement and standards in five key areas of organisational performance: leadership, process involvement, partnership development, employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction.
Applications for each award are initially processed by the BQF and then assessed by the panel of judges.
Following the initial assessment the panel will decide on a shortlist of finalists by the 30 June; a member of the judging panel will make a half-day visit to each finalists to confirm their submission.
The final decision will be made by the end of July, and the winner of each award will be announced at the UK Excellence Award Ceremony on Tuesday 14 October at the London Hilton.
A full service research agency, Maven has enjoyed a long association with the BQF; Maven PZB Customer and Employee Gap Analysis methodology (sources Parasuraman, Zeithmal and Berry (1990), Speller (1992)) is recommended by the BQF as a measure of service quality and provides unsurpassed insight into customer/employee expectation and perception gaps.
A supporter of the BQF, Kathryn Courtenay-Evans said: "I have been involved with the BQF on a number of levels throughout my 12 years at Maven, and am delighted to have been asked to judge the Customer Satisfaction award for them this year.
"It is important to recognise the importance of the work that the members are doing in focusing on improving their service to their customers and sharing best practice".
