Personnel Today Awards 2023: entry deadline today

There are only hours left to enter the Personnel Today Awards 2023, the annual celebration of the very best in HR and L&D. The deadline has already been extended by one week, meaning companies don’t have long to finish their submissions for the chance of joining our 25th anniversary ceremony in November.

Final entry deadline: Friday 16 June 2023 at 11:55pm

HR and L&D teams, individuals and suppliers are invited to make submissions across 23 categories, with new awards being introduced for hybrid working, early careers and employee experience.

Rob Moss, Personnel Today’s editorial director and chair of the judging panel, said: “We’ve had a tonne of enquiries last week, so we’ve took the decision to extend the entry deadline by one week to give everyone a little more time to submit their entries.

“We have also had quite a few queries about entering more than one category. Organisations can enter as many categories as they want to – all we ask is that they ensure each submission is tailored to the award criteria described in the entry guide. Good luck everyone!”

The Personnel Today Awards are underway for the 25th time since their inception in 1999 and we’re looking forward to welcoming around 1,000 people to the biggest night in the HR calendar this autumn – it promises to be an evening to remember.

The Awards welcome a swathe of new sponsors too, with Oracle, LHH, Employment Hero and Make UK joining PeopleScout, HSBC, XpertHR and Lloyds Banking Group as generous supporters of the event.

Last year, restaurant chain Dishoom was crowned overall winner for its drive, passion and innovation.

It secured both the Learning & Development Award and Health & Wellbeing Award (Private Sector) at a glittering ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane, having been shortlisted in no fewer than five categories.

This year’s awards include a new category to recognise the work that has been done in maximising the benefits of Hybrid Working. Our judges are looking for hybrid working arrangements which are fair and equitable, which maintain a strong working culture where employees feel connected, and for evidence that productivity is improving.

They will also be interested in understanding how different cohorts of employees are catered for, including staff at the start of their careers who crave development opportunities, staff with caring responsibilities, and those staff whose jobs mean they are unable to work from home.

Other new categories include an award for Early Careers, which recognises the progress made in early talent acquisition, whether through an apprenticeship scheme or graduate recruitment, and an award for Employee Experience, which will recognise organisations for unlocking discretionary effort from staff through effective employee engagement and a strong sense of community that centres on shared values.

Entries are now open until the new, extended deadline of 16 June 2023 at 11:55pm. The Personnel Today Awards shortlist will be announced in July, with the ceremony taking place in London on 21 November 2023.

Submissions require organisations to explain the problem they faced, the solution that was implemented, and to outline the benefits realised for the business and their employees.
