Recognizing Excellence in HR – Association Award Winners Announced

For the second year in a row, the Association Awards program received more nominations than ever before in 2023. With over 175 nominations submitted, the program demonstrates both the tremendous work being accomplished in the HR community and the continued interest and growth of our Awards program year over year. The level of detail and information, including examples, results or ROI and supporting references – in each of the nominations received this year showed the commitment and buy-in from our nominators – who invested their time, and energy, on the finalists’ behalf -because they saw something that mattered and made a difference!

From the nominations received, the awards selection committee had to select just a few winners in the North America, EMEA and APAC regions. Each region had upwards of 9 company or team award categories and 3 individual award categories.  The North America and EMEA awards were announced at the virtual HRO Today Association Conference & Awards Program, held as part of the Association’s Conference on December 1st. The APAC region awards were announced at the APAC Board of Advisors meeting, held virtually on December 14th.

All told, a total of 45 awards were bestowed upon deserving teams/companies and individuals from across the globe. While the award categories available for nomination were consistent across all regions, in some cases we announced more than one winner, based on industry or company size, where appropriate.  Click here to access the full list of winners and the following links to access the success bullets that contributed to their win in North America, EMEA and APAC.

Congratulations and thank you to all our award winners and finalists!
