Held at Sydney’s Westin Hotel, 2013’s Australian HR Awards proved to be the biggest yet, with a packed house of industry professionals and heavy-hitters celebrating the unwavering expertise and continual progression of the HR industry.
MCing the night was Australia’s number one entertainment personality, Richard Wilkins, and entertainment was provided by Rhythm Brazil and musical group Everyday People.
The night was a roaring success, with HR practitioners from around Australia celebrating together and being acknowledged for their hard work and dedication to HR best practice.
