Amid another year of challenges, nearly 30 HR leaders stepped up to champion transformation
The best New Zealand HR executives think globally and act locally to get ahead with industry trends — while prioritising the wellbeing of their people.
The executives on HRD’s Hot List for 2024 in New Zealand have significantly advanced the standing of HR within their organisations in novel ways, enabling the HR industry to significantly increase its influence on employee experience and organisational success.
In that vein, HRD is proud to unveil our 2024 Hot List – a comprehensive guide to the very best and brightest in the HR sector.
This year’s winners include:
- Karen Meredith of PeopleEx
- Kate Batkin of Medenterprises Services
- Mark Lewis of Connetics
Winners were selected after the HRD New Zealand team conducted a survey of the HR sector to find the most influential leaders who had contributed significantly to their profession over the previous 12 months. The team aimed to identify individuals who had led new initiatives in the HR space and advanced the standing of HR within their respective organisations, and also considered previous awards won by the candidates.
