This year Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc. gave the prestigious award to György Simó for his outstanding organization development work at T-Online Hungary Ltd. The prominent event was held on November 16 in the historic Festetics Palace. The award was presented to György Simó by Jean-Louis Van Doorne, European vice-president of Dale Carnegie & Associates, Inc.

The fact that György Simó implemented a carefully designed organization development scheme in T-Online Hungary Ltd. played an important role in his receiving the award. The steady growth of the company faced the manager in charge of organization development with a constant challenge. As a result of the efforts, a dynamic, constantly renewing and changing organization has emerged, one that manages the problems with an open and multi-level approach. Organization and personnel development have become values for T-Online Hungary which allow the implementation of the changes in a dynamic manner, resting on self-criticism. T-Online Hungary Ltd. also has some fine credits in the fields of human resource evaluation, performance planning and evaluation, promoting the manifestation of personal commitment and initiative, educating creative talent internally and in motivation and conscious company development efforts.
