Panel included more than 30 business leaders, experts
Earlier this month, HRD Australia hosted its annual HR Awards to celebrate the achievements of human resources professionals and teams around the country.
The event covered 20 categories including HR Director of the Year, HR Manager of the Year and a variety of team and company awards.
Brisbane Airport Corporation won the Employer of Choice (100 – 999 Employees) award on the night.
“Winning the award is just a testament to how well our HR team has done in creating an environment where employees can thrive and we’re really proud of that,” Kate Walder, human resources manager at Brisbane Airport Corporation, said.
And congratulations once again to this year’s winners.
