WINNERS THAT LIGHTEN HR’S LOAD

In the 16th edition of the HR Vendors of the Year research, solution providers were ranked based on a two-tier selection process, including robust assessments by senior HR experts in Asia.

The past year has been one of many ups and downs for HR, having to adjust to varying government measures and restrictions, all while ensuring the best welfare and provisions for their workforce.

Luckily for HR, it has been able to continuously rely on capable partners across the board to help lighten the load on its shoulders. Be it through working with HR to tackle its employees’ wellness needs; helping to continue a smooth recruitment process; or helping take management training virtual; these solution providers have proven to be of the utmost support to HR.

Thus, we are proud to bring back the HR Vendors of the Year research in its 16th edition, where these vendors were ranked based on a two-tier selection process, including robust assessments by senior HR experts in Asia.

The HR Vendors of the Year represents a long-running annual vendors’ rankings report that recognises and celebrates the very best HR vendors in Asia.

In line with the times identified above, we ensured that our judging criteria remained stringent so the listings truly represented the best in the human resources landscape.

NEW CATEGORIES

This year, we are proud to announce 24 award categories, carefully designed to identify the vendors that have truly delivered excellence in growing their business and serving the HR community.

What’s special about this year is the introduction of new categories such as Best AI Recruitment Tool, Best Response To COVID-19, and split categories for the best HR Management Systems – for enterprises (those with 1,000 employees and above), and SMBs (fewer than 1,000 employees).

A ROBUST ASSESSMENT PROCESS

Keeping in mind the range of categories we finalised this year, we continued to keep our vendor judging process truly robust and effective.

The HR Vendors of the Year 2021 awards were based on a two-tier selection process. For the first step, Human Resources Online conducted an online survey to gather a list of category front runners.

Each of these contenders then provided us with a submission form, detailing their prowess in terms of the 4Ps – performance, product, people, and perspective.

For the next step, an esteemed jury of 23 senior regional heads of HR judged and scored the finalists’ profiles, based on a holistic judging criteria. These criteria included key facts, milestones, achievements, challenges, and solutions, to help the judges score each entry based on facts and figures.

The industry practitioners making up the jury brought a wealth of experience to the process, and come from organisations that stand among the most respected employers in Asia.

After the rounds of judging, scores obtained from the judges led us to identifying gold, silver, and bronze winners across a majority of the categories, along with a list of finalists. This year, a total of 116 finalists were shortlisted for the awards.
