Awards NZ to recognise top HR leaders, teams and employers

Nominations for the first-ever HRD Awards New Zealand are being made in huge numbers—and the field remains open to those who have yet to take part. 

Presented by HRD NZ, this awards program celebrates and recognises the very best of the HR profession across the nation. During the incredible challenges of the past 12 months, it aims to offer a true snapshot of those who have stepped up and put their people first at a time when it mattered most.

Among the 14 categories are those focusing on the achievements of top HR leaders, teams and employers including: 

  • NZ HR Director of the Year  
  • NZ HR Manager of the Year  
  • NZ HR Rising Star   
  • HR Team of the Year (> 500 staff)    
  • HR Team of the Year (< 500 staff) 
  • Employer of Choice (> 200 staff)   
  • Employer of Choice (< 200 staff) 
  • Employer of Choice (Public Sector or NFP) 

We encourage HR professionals across New Zealand to nominate their team, colleagues, company, or themselves before the deadline of 4 December. The process of submitting a nomination is straightforward and free.

Winners will be announced in HRD online in February. They will also be promoted for their achievements and thought leadership across HRD’s online content and industry events throughout the year. This is an unparalleled opportunity guaranteeing profession-wide recognition and a true acknowledgement that the winners are at the very top of their game.
