Personnel Today Awards 2007: the big launch

by Personnel Today 6 Mar 2007
by Personnel Today 6 Mar 2007

This week marks the launch of the Personnel Today Awards 2007 – the most prestigious event in the HR calendar.


The Personnel Today Awards recognise and reward those teams making an impact with their people policies and delivering great bottom-line business benefits.


If your HR department has spearheaded an innovative project, driven down costs, been courageous in implementing change, or achieved great results in the past 18 months, then you could be a winner of one of our 13 coveted awards. Plus all category winners compete to win a special overall gold award for the best of the best.


This year, we have introduced a number of new award categories which allow teams to demonstrate their achievements in a range of new areas, including:




  • the RBS group Employee Engagement Award


  • the Totaljobs.com Award for HR Measurement


  • the Employers’ Law Award for Diversity in the Workplace


  • the HR Directors Club Award for Excellence in Business Partnering and


  • the XpertHR Award for Reward and Recognition.

All shortlisted teams are invited to attend a pre-awards drinks reception in September, and the dazzling awards ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane on 22 November 2007.


Last year, HR’s finest were revealed at the Personnel Today Awards’ Venetian masked ball. Celebrity host Julian Clary entertained 1,230 guests, and the Phantom of the Opera made a special appearance against a backdrop of fireworks for the grand finale (see pictures below).


Last year’s overall winner, Royal Mail, said the award was “the culmination of three-and-a-half years of hard graft”. And Dermot Toberty, the company’s director of people and organisational development, said: “Change doesn’t come easy, but we’ve achieved what we set out to do.”


Each award category is independently judged by a well-respected industry figure. This year, we have simplified the entry process to include a 250-word entry statement, and 150 words covering each of the following criteria:




  • innovation and achievement


  • teamwork


  • leadership


  • effective use of resources and


  • HR’s contribution to the business.

The closing date for award entries is 8 June.
