About the Awards
The #HRExcellenceAwards story
The awards show was first established in 2012 to provide an incubator platform for HR teams to showcase their HR strategies and initiatives. Over the years, the show has evolved from showcasing to a benchmarking practice across industries.
Fundamentally, the ideology underpinning the awards remains the same: Honouring best-in-class HR teams and individuals for their spectacular work executed across the entire HR function. It aims to bring together talented HR professionals as one force to champion the way forward.
This is also the region’s only HR awards that is peer-reviewed by a jury of esteemed HR practitioners.
This year we will dive deeper into the quality of work put forth to the esteemed jury and narrow down Asia’s most commendable teams – so start preparing your entries early!
Beyond a night of celebrating sheer HR excellence, walk away with real value such as:
