CIPD People Management Awards 2014 shortlist unveiled
They’re the most prestigious baubles in the HR calendar – and a record number of entries shows the UK’s appetite for the CIPD People Management Awards is nothing short of insatiable.
The 2014 shortlist (below) contains a host of leading names from both the public and private sector, across a revamped range of categories taking in everything from health and well-being to rewards and benefits, and four flagship team awards celebrating the heights of organisational excellence.
The awards will be handed out at a special dinner on 30 September at the Grosvenor Hotel on London’s Park Lane. And for the first time, an HR/L&D Professional of the year award will be presented to an outstanding individual, with a shortlist of 11 names to be whittled down by a public online vote (see right).
