We can now reveal each entry in every category with less than a weeks to go before the Personnel Today Awards 2020. Click on the category names to see all entries.
In July, after a few busy weeks for our expert judges panel, we announced the finalists of Personnel Today Awards 2020. The shortlist is made up of a wide range of employers and suppliers who support them. Organisations that place their employees at the centre of everything they do are included.
The 26th annual celebration of HR & L&D culminates with a glittering award ceremony in London’s Park Lane, in November. We’ll be profiling the work of each finalist over the next few weeks to see what impressed our judges.
The shortlist of employers for the Personnel Today Awards 2024 includes large organisations like Deloitte and NHS England, as well as smaller businesses like AG Barr, West Midlands Safari Park, and Dwr Cymru Welsh Water. Below are the complete shortlists.
Rob Moss, editor of Personnel Today and chair of judging panel said: “It has been a bumper year. Thank you to everyone who entered. Congratulations to each of our finalists.” The judges had to make some difficult decisions when deciding who should be on the shortlist. I would like to thank them for their expertise and time.
The award ceremony will take place at the Grosvenor House Hotel on November 19, 2024. This evening will include a champagne reception and fine dining as well as entertainment, the awards ceremony, and an after party.
The night will reveal a special host, including Claudia Winkleman and Lucy Porter.
Personnel Today wishes to thank all of our sponsors who have made this celebration possible, including Bank of Ireland EY, LHH NatWest NU Concept Solutions Wisdom and Bank of Ireland.
Last year, Virgin Media O2 won the overall winner award for its extensive early career programmes.
