Pacific World, the global DMC, Event Management and PCO organization, has clinched the "Best Incentive Programme" award at the Malaysia Business Events Awards for Excellence (rAWr Awards).
rAWr or "ROAR" is associated with the growing voice and recognition of the meeting and event industry in the private and public sectors as a key contributor to the Malaysian economy. The awards, introduced by the Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) and the Malaysia Association of Convention and Exhibition Organizers and Suppliers (MACEOS), are designed to acknowledge and reward excellence in the MICE industry.
With a total of 20 award categories, Pacific World participated with the "Emerging Market Sales Meeting (EMSM)," which was the only programme that made it to the finals where it was the winner in the "Best Incentive Programme" category.
Organized by Pacific World, EMSM brought delegates together for a combined conference and team-building event, which was designed to motivate sales teams from several countries and support them in working together towards a shared common company goal.
Herve Joseph-Antoine, global managing director of Pacific World, commented: "Pacific World was challenged to deliver a programme which would not only promote team spirit, but also exceed the high benchmark set in Sydney in 2006. In order to achieve this, the company introduced an innovative team-building approach in Kuala Lumpur."
Catherine Chong, country manager for Pacific World Malaysia, added: "We introduced the ’KL Challenge,’ which involved a photo hunt and an outdoor activity that provided our participants with the opportunity to explore Kuala Lumpur. In addition to this, we also coordinated an activity where our attendees could build bicycles for orphans and give something back to the community. This was the key difference from the company’s previous team-building activities, and given its uniqueness, the client will find it difficult to match in future. We achieved a 100% attendance rate for the ’KL Challenge’ with the participation of all the 350 employees of the sales & marketing division of a global medical technology company.”
Complimenting the success of the programme, the client stated: "The team-building programme was, in particular, very well received and will be quite difficult to top for any future event this division holds."
