What is our purpose?
Twenty years on and Human Resources Online holds true to its promise of delivering a comprehensive guidebook of leading solution providers targeted to meet the varying needs of HR practitioners and help them accomplish their objectives at an optimum level.
First established and launched as the HR Vendors of the Year special edition magazine in 2006, it has since garnered an immense following that led to the inaugural awards show in 2015.
2025 is the year to reassure your clients that they have indeed chosen the right partner to work with.
We answer the frequently-asked questions you might have:
1. What are the benefits of joining the awards?
- Take home a prestigious trophy to showcase your achievement with pride.
- Celebrate your team’s hard work with a well-deserved night of glamour, relaxation, and appreciation.
- Gain valuable insight into your standing within the industry and among your competitors.
- Gather constructive feedback from key stakeholders to refine and enhance your offerings.
- Benefit from extensive media coverage through the region’s leading media partner.
2. How is the jury panel selected?
Individuals who have a wealth of industry and regional/global experience across the wide spectrum of HR are selected.
3. What is the judging process?
- All judges are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement to protect the private and confidential material provided by all entrants.
- When there is a tie, there will be an additional round of judging to qualify the winner.
- Scores are tabulated as an average from respective judges. Scores are not tempered or altered.
- Judges are encouraged to provide feedback/comments for each entry form submitted. This can be shared with you post the gala night.
- Judges may not be end-users of your product itself, and they have been briefed to judge from a non-biased point of view.
4. How can I increase my chances of winning?
- Use the core entry submission form as a template – be direct, present a strong business case, and back your claims with data.
- Judges highly recommend including case studies, as they provide a clear and structured narrative.
- Keep your entry concise and within the word limit to avoid penalties.
- Ensure your entry is well-contextualised, linking each section to the impact you’ve made on end users.
