HRD’s annual Australian HR Awards are coming later this year – and there’s a group of stellar finalists vying for the big prizes. THESE TOP-PERFORMING HR teams, leaders and employers across 20 categories are ready to be recognised for their outstanding achievements and commitment to HR best practices. As ever, it was a fantastic year for nominations. We were taken aback by the sheer quality and variety of talent that HR professionals have to offer. We would like to give a massive ‘thank you’ to everyone who made their voice heard during the nomination process. This event relies on the input of hard-working HR professionals just like you. The following pages list the individuals, teams and organisations who have been shortlisted across all prestigious categories. Be sure to attend on the night itself and cheer on the winners in style.
