“We’ve had another terrific response to our call for entries,” said Rob Moss, editor of Personnel Today. “HR practitioners want to share with others their hard work and success over the past year.
“We have two new categories this year. HR Professional of the Year is open to anyone with more than five years’ experience, filling the gap between our HR Newcomer and HR Director categories. And we’ve launched the awards for Best Youth Employment Initiative, to recognise organisations who are bringing in fresh talent and reducing the level of youth unemployment.”
