The shortlist for the Personnel Today Awards 2014 is revealed today, with a record number of organisations securing their place at the annual ceremony later this year.
Teams and individuals from 106 businesses are included on the 2014 list, from a broad range of industries in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
Personnel Today editor Rob Moss said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone to the Awards night – it’s fantastic to see such a diverse range of organisations represented on the shortlist.”
All shortlisted individuals and teams are invited to the Shortlist Party on 9 September as an opportunity to celebrate their success, ahead of the awards ceremony on 18 November. Last year’s ceremony was hosted by comedian and actor Alexander Armstrong, pictured above with the overall winners, Barclays.
Personnel Today has now also announced the shortlist for its newly created Supplier Partnership category. This award was only made open to  suppliers nominated by entrants to the other categories in the Personnel Today Awards. Entries included those from software providers, learning and development companies, diversity consultants, recruitment agencies, healthcare providers and law firms.
