The EFQM Global Award is supported by one of the most challenging assessment processes. To assess organisations and identify good practices, an international team of 4 to 8 experienced professionals, all trained in EFQM’s rigorous assessment process, spend one week on-site. They review documents and interview individuals and teams to analyse how effectively the organisation performs in the delivery of its strategic objectives.

The Assessors’ feedback report provides a wealth of value-adding input to help the organisation improve at a strategic level. The report is then presented to an independent Jury that decides the level of recognition for each applicant organisation. Throughout the process, the interaction with the assessment team enables an organisation to gain expert insights to tackle its future challenges.
