By Teresa Flannigan

The Nominations process for this years Hr NETWORK National Awards 2023 in partnership with Roffey Park Institute is well underway with just under a month to go until the deadline to submit nominations and this is your chance to RECOGNISE, ACKOWLEDGE and REWARD your Scottish HR Stars in 2023.

New Award Categories

As announced in the previous issue of Hr NETWORK Magazine, following a significant rise in interest for ESG (Environment, Social & Governance), Hr NETWORK is delighted to announce the brand new ESG Award of the Year, which ensures those organisations and their associated partners who have implemented a highly successful and impactful ESG strategy, get the recognition they deserve.

Also being introduced to the Awards this year is the Leading with Kindness Award of the Year category, which is sponsored by Leading Kind. This Award will recognise, acknowledge and reward an Organisation, Team or Individual who has demonstrated kindness to others in the workplace or in society through empowerment to go above and beyond and provide an outstanding act of kindness that creates a positive impact for the entire organisation.

With 18 awards categories, which are FREE to enter, this is your chance to RECOGNISE, ACKOWLEDGE and REWARD your HR champions with the award categories determining the top performing HR people, teams, projects and organisations across the people development and management industry in Scotland and the wider UK.

The ‘Nominations Intention’ scheme captures early interest from those intending to nominate in the various categories, running from 1st March to 31st May 2023, and those planning to submit nominations before the deadline can notify the Awards Planning Team who will provide ongoing updates and relevant information during this period.

Following the incredible success of the Awards and Gala Dinner in November 2022, the search is on for those HR and people professionals, who have gone above and beyond in delivering a first class service to the business.

This years’ awards gala dinner is in extremely high demand and organisations wishing to host a table of 10 are strongly advised to secure their table as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Those that do manage to attend as table hosts will see the 2023 winners being announced at the hugely anticipated annual Hr NETWORK Awards Gala Dinner taking place at the hugely impressive Hilton Glasgow on Thursday 9th November 2023.

The awards categories are judged in two sections, People categories and Project categories.

People

These categories focus on individuals (except for the HR Team category). Judges are looking for exceptional individuals who MUST demonstrate that they are at the top in their respective role.

Projects

These categories focus on projects/specific initiatives that have had a measurable impact in the organisation.
