First held in 1998 in Hong Kong, the China STAFF HR Awards expanded to Mainland China in 2003 in acknowledgement of CCH's business development in China as well as the country's rapid economic development. The judging process was a stringent one in which nominees for the awards must first produce a variety of industry information for assessment. Afterwards, an independent and anonymous review of the information is conducted, coupled with a visit from an independent evaluator to ask supplementary questions, ensuring an accurate and objective review process.
Previously Hewitt has been acknowledged by CHINA STAFF as the HR Consulting Firm of the Year for five consecutive years (from 2004 to 2008), the China Compensation and Benefits Firm of the Year in 2004, the China Consulting Firm of the Year for Change Management in 2005, the Consulting Firm of the Year for Performance and Reward Management in 2006, and most recently Business Process Outsourcing Firm of the Year in 2008.
