How we prepare you for this category

1. 1

   We extract three years of localisation data from the HR systems: ratios, senior positions, promotions and retention.

2. 2

   We document the development system — training plans, career paths and succession — with evidence of application, not intent.

3. 3

   We frame the localisation policy as a strategic choice tied to the establishment's plan, as the award requires.

4. 4

   We write the submission and prepare the HR function for the assessor interviews.
