Employee Experience Awards Key Dates

Putting the Spotlight on Experience

The Employee Experience Awards returns for its third year to honour organisations that have excelled at focusing on employee experience to help retain and excite the best people, creating value and maintaining a competitive edge as they do so.

Employees have been grappling with the disruption to work brought about by the aftershocks of the pandemic that continue to present social, economic and work-related challenges, which have brough unprecedented levels of uncertainty, instability and stress to their lives.

That’s why Human Resources Online is proud to bring back the Employee Experience Awards, to recognise employers who are taking concrete steps to put the spotlight on the employee experience.

A win at the Employee Experience Awards is an important acknowledgement from the industry that your organisation is taking a lead in listening to, engaging and supporting your most valuable asset: its people.

It’s time to bask in the glory of your hard work and be celebrated by your peers. We wish you all the very best of luck with your submissions!

Best of luck! Follow us on social media as the awards develop.
