Entries to the 2024 Personnel Today Awards have now closed after numerous employers requested extra time to prepare their submissions for the annual celebration of the very best in HR and L&D.
Employers and suppliers had until Monday 17 June to craft their entries for their chance of winning a coveted trophy at a glittering black-tie ceremony on London’s Park Lane in late November.

As well as an opportunity to receive the recognition you deserve, the Personnel Today Awards also offer an unforgettable evening of fine dining and entertainment in the run-up to Christmas, a chance for your people team to celebrate the year’s successes.
Rob Moss, Personnel Today’s editorial director and chair of the judging panel, said: “Due to overwhelming demand we’ve taken the decision to extend the entry deadline by a little over a week, giving employers more time to finalise their submissions.”
Last year Virgin Media O2 scooped the overall winner award in recognition of its wide-ranging early careers programmes. Other category winners included AstraZeneca for learning and development, Bank of Ireland for health and wellbeing and its family-friendly practices, and the Civil Service for talent management.
Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors star Claudia Winkleman hosted last year’s awards ceremony after attendees were entertained by comedian Suzi Ruffell.
The 2024 Personnel Today Awards feature 18 categories for employers to choose from and five awards specifically for suppliers and consultancies. Suppliers can also enter categories on behalf of their employer clients. Download your entry guide.
Moss added: “The Personnel Today Awards are being held for the 26th time and we’re looking forward to welcoming around 1,000 people to the biggest night in the HR calendar this autumn – it will be an evening to remember.”
Shortlists are announced in late July, with the Awards ceremony taking place on the evening of Tuesday 19 November 2024 at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Mayfair.
Submissions typically require employers to describe a problem they faced, the solution that was implemented, and the benefits realised for the organisation and its employees.
