Welcome to the HR Excellence Awards

Step into the spotlight, and showcase how your HR team is lighting the way to success.

By entering the HR Excellence Awards 2026, you can demonstrate exactly why perfected people management is the bedrock of thriving organisations, providing clear, calm results amid modern-day employers’ storms.

Open to UK-based organisations and HR professionals, our prestigious awards highlight best-practice business strategies, and offer a glittering opportunity to celebrate professional success.

Categories range from championing individuals – for example the HR Director of the Year award – to spotlighting success strategies, and flagging up cutting-edge technology and impactful transformation programmes.

Winning an HR Excellence Award is no mean feat; they’re the most sought-after trophies in the industry for a reason. But you’ve got to be in it, to win it.

So get your stats and paperwork in order: we’ll soon be inviting your entries.

We look forward to your contribution to the HR Excellence Awards 2026, and to seeing you at the presentation ceremony in December.
