Yumana’s solution

The Beauty Fast Forward international competition is designed to reward and promote value-creating business initiatives implemented by the group’s international marketing and sales teams over the past year. After a regional selection phase, 5 prizes are awarded to the best initiatives on the themes of products & campaigns, sustainable development, sales activation, consumers and emerging countries. By promoting the successes of its employees, L’Oréal promotes employee engagement.

The phases of the Awards:

  • Phase 1 : National competition

    The 42 member countries can apply to highlight the best initiatives implemented in the organization during the year.

    Results

    A total of 242 initiatives – 1225 participants

  • Phase 2 : Regional competition

    Candidates selected during the first phase can present their work on a region. A jury of experts will select the 3 best initiatives for each Prize at the regional level.

  • Phase 3 : The Grand Prix
