The Personnel Today Awards 2013 entry deadline has been extended by one week – to Friday 21 June – to allow organisations to finalise their submissions for the most prestigious awards in the HR calendar.

The evening will also see one of these category winners receive the overall Award for HR Excellence.
“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.”
After the 21 June deadline, the panel of judges will begin to review the entries and will compile a shortlist for each category. These shortlists will be published in August.
