With less than a week to go until the Personnel Today Awards 2024, we can now present each submission in every category. Browse the list below and click on a category name to view all shortlisted entries.
After a busy few weeks for our expert judging panel, we revealed the finalists of the Personnel Today Awards 2024 in July. The shortlist includes a broad range of employers of all sizes and the suppliers that support them, organisations that put their workforce at the heart of what they do.
Having received a record number of entries, the annual celebration of HR and L&D – now in its 26th year – culminates in a glittering awards ceremony on London’s Park Lane in November. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be profiling each and every finalist’s work to find out what impressed our judges.
2024 Personnel Today Awards shortlist
Employers on the 2024 Personnel Today Awards shortlist include large organisations such as Deloitte, NHS England and Centrica and smaller businesses such as AG Barr, West Midlands Safari Park and Dwr Cymru Welsh Water. The full shortlists are below.
Personnel Today editor and chair of the judging panel Rob Moss said: “It’s been another bumper year – thank you to all those who entered and huge congratulations to every one of our finalists. Our judges have made some very difficult decisions in working out who warrants a place on the shortlist and I extend sincere thanks for their time and expertise.”
The awards evening takes place on 19 November 2024 at the prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel with the evening comprising a champagne reception, fine dining, entertainment, the winners’ ceremony and an after-party.
There will also be a special guest host who will be revealed on the night – previous presenters have included Claudia Winkleman, Lucy Porter and Russell Kane.
Personnel Today would like all our sponsors, who help make this celebration possible: Bank of Ireland, EY, LHH, NatWest, NU Concept Solutions and Wisdom.
Last year, Virgin Media O2 walked away with the Overall Winner trophy for its wide-ranging early careers programmes.
