We at SKOCH, strive to maintain the highest levels of integrity and confidence for all nominees and awardees. SKOCH Award Methodology as is follows:
Step 4. Beacons-of-Hope.
While jury ratings for SKOCH Awards come in, ‘Beacons of Hope’ voting phase gives an opportunity to solicit popular votes for one’s nomination. This is important for the following reasons:
- Making one’s department/organisation and its wider ecosystem a part of the evaluation exercise.
- Creating a buzz around one’s good work, informing colleagues and peers about what has been done, and making them feel proud of their achievements.
- Benchmarking one’s popularity against peers from other organisations.
- The Popular vote carries a 15% weightage (upto 1.5 marks). This is added to the jury score to arrive at the semi-final stage of the SKOCH Award. This ensures the SKOCH-Order-of-Merit certificate and also qualifies one to compete for the top national honour by soliciting the expert vote from delegates during the conference.
