PeopleFirst HR Excellence Awards

WELCOME to the PeopleFirst HR Excellence Awards, 2024

PeopleFirst is delighted to announce that nominations to the PeopleFirst HR Excellence Awards 2024 are now open. We eagerly await to celebrate the best-in-class standards in HR strategies and initiatives.

The PeopleFirst HR Excellence Awards are the most coveted, sought after and the longest running awards in the field of HR. They recognise the professionals and companies who are stretching the boundaries of people strategy. HR teams most often spend all their time and energy on the development of the rest of the organization, without finding the platform to think of themselves. The PeopleFirst HR Excellence Awards are about celebrating the finest initiatives in HR by organizations across geographies and provide opportunity for the experts in the profession to recognize the world class work done by their colleagues.

The submissions are evaluated by an eminent jury panel consisting of Industry experts, HR Leaders and Academicians at two levels, to decide the final winners and runners-up in each category for both Indian and International companies.
