What makes a good award entry

• Ability to demonstrate positive impact using qualitative and quantitative evidence.

• Impact on both society/environment and business.• Measurable KPIs, identified target groups.• Engagement with a variety of stakeholder, senior advocates.• Emphasis will be put on evidence of longer-term impacts (at

least over one year). Programmes under a year old may still apply, but it might make them less competitive against other entries.

• Please look at each category’s guideline doc for specific criteria.

www.bitc.org.uk

• Wherever possible use quantitative and qualitative evidence to back up, describe or explain the impacts that you are detailing in your application.

• Quantitative evidence – 89% of employees are more motivated to work for the company as a result of this programme.

• Qualitative evidence – X employee “I am more committed to the company because of the x programme and my involvement in it.”

• Images and Info-graphics – used to support the narrative not replace it.

More on …Inputs, Outputs and Impacts

Business in the Community www.bitc.org.uk

Inputs = what’s contributed

what the business puts into the programme/initiative, e.g. cash; employee time; gifts and in-kind support; management costs.

Outputs = what happens

what the inputs resulted in e.g. numbers helped, activities held, awareness amongst customers, additional funding etc

Impacts = what changes

how has this made a difference to society (e.g. increase in pupils reading level) and to business (e.g. improved business performance); i.e. what the inputs & outputs have achieved.
