Special guest speaker at the Awards Ceremony was His Excellency, The Prime Minister of Bhutan. The Prime Minister reiterated his country’s direction to not measure their progress on the GDP which he believes is “used wrongly as an indicator of society’s development”. Instead the Kingdom of Bhutan uses the Gross National Happiness factor. Their belief is that a company and a country “ … must address emotional, psychological and spiritual needs of the individual.” CEO’s and HR pros were invited to consider restructuring how they measure success in their organizations.
