Catch up with who won what at the Personnel Today Awards 2020.

The awards, which celebrate the best achievements and innovations in HR and L&D, will take place virtually this year, but you will still have the opportunity to network with your colleagues and professional peers.

You don’t need to have been shortlisted to attend and registration is free of charge.

The event was held online on Thursday 26 November 2020, with the opportunity for attendees to chat with colleagues on virtual table or connect with other attendees.

The shortlist highlights the impact of HR teams across 21 categories, including learning and development, diversity and inclusion and family-friendly initiatives. It also showcases the contribution of suppliers to the HR industry, including employment law firms, HR technology providers and resourcing providers.

While we won’t be able to congratulate our winners and finalists at the Grosvenor House Hotel this year, we hope you’ll be able to join us with a glass of bubbly and celebrate their outstanding achievements this year.

The Personnel Today Awards 2020 are sponsored by The Guardian Jobs and XpertHR.
