Nominations for the Outstanding Disabled Employees Award 2004

The Outstanding Disabled Employees Award (ODEA) 2004 is now open for nomination from all employers who have engaged people with a disability. The deadline for nomination is 31 August 2004.

The Selective Placement Division of the Labour Department has been organising the Award since 1989 aiming to give recognition and appreciation to disabled employees who have demonstrated outstanding performance in employment, to enhance public understanding of the working abilities of people with a disability and to provide an incentive to disabled employees to seek further advancement in work performance.

The Presentation Ceremony of the ODEA 2004 will take place in November 2004. During the Ceremony, the Enlightened Employers Award will also be presented to employers who have been offering equal employment opportunities to disabled persons to give recognition to their open policy in human resources management.
