The Personnel Today Awards 2023 are now open for entries, as the annual celebration of the very best in HR and learning and development (L&D) launches for its 25th anniversary year.
Hosted by our sister brand, Personnel Today, HR and L&D teams, individuals and suppliers are invited to make submissions across 23 categories, including the Reward, Recognition and Benefits Award which highlights organisations that use reward, recognition and benefits in a strategic way, aligned to their their objectives in an effort to attract and retain staff.
Rob Moss, editorial director of Personnel Today and chair of the judging panel, said: “The Personnel Today Awards launch for the 25th time since their inception in 1999 and we’re looking forward to welcoming around 1,000 people to the biggest night in the HR calendar this autumn – it promises to be an evening to remember.”
Last year, restaurant chain Dishoom was crowned overall winner for its drive, passion and innovation.
It secured both the Learning and Development Award and Health and Wellbeing Award (Private Sector) at a glittering ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane, having been shortlisted in no fewer than five categories.
This year’s awards include a new category to recognise the work that has been done in maximising the benefits of hybrid working. Other new categories include an award for early careers, which recognises the progress made in early talent acquisition, whether through an apprenticeship scheme or graduate recruitment, and an award for employee experience, which will recognise organisations for unlocking discretionary effort from staff through effective employee engagement and a strong sense of community that centres on shared values.
Entries are now open until the deadline of 9 June 2023. The Personnel Today Awards shortlist will be announced in July, with the ceremony taking place in London on 21 November 2023.
Moss added: “Now is the time for employers to start thinking about what they’re going to enter and preparing their submissions before the June deadline – try not to leave it until the last minute.”
Submissions require organisations to explain the problem they faced, the solution that was implemented, and to outline the benefits realised for the business and its employees.
