Be watching for team members that go above and beyond the ordinary! This summer we will be calling for nominations for our Analyst of the Year once again. Let's honor team members who do the extra-ordinary on a daily basis. Those brave individuals who deal with angry customers, unreasonable requests and customers who can’t move their curser to the right side of the screen because they’re at the edge of the mouse pad!
 
All kidding aside, you and I need to pay tribute to those who have gone above and beyond normal expectations. Please see below for the program guidelines, and please don't delay — get your nomination forms in this summer for Analyst of the Year! Download your Nomination Form now and begin completing it on behalf of your star analyst. Send your completed nomination form with supporting attachments to Gary Carreon @ gcarreon@fmtinv.com.
 
Program Overview

Each year HDI Global works jointly with the HDI local chapters to identify and award the industry's top first-level support analyst.  Support analysts that are nominated at the local chapter will have an opportunity to compete with their peers locally, regionally and globally for this prestigious award. The nominator will present a personal business profile of the nominee and the nominee's company, in addition to specific attributes that demonstrate the nominee's understanding of industry standards, commitment to excellent service, and consistently exceeding performance objectives.

The winner from our OCHDI Chapter will be announced at December Holiday Party, and will go on to be a Finalist in the Regional contest. Finalists will receive prizes and the priceless recognition of their peers. The winner from each region will be invited to participate in the HDI's Global Analyst of the Year Awards festivities held during the HDI Annual Conference & Expo.

This award is sponsored globally by Robert Half Technology.
