Which are the best HR awards to enter?
April 2, 2024
Do you know a leading lady who is excelling in her role and career? If so, you need to get her nominated. And let’s not forget about self-promotion. No one is going to do it for you, so get yourself the recognition you deserve by entering an award.
Winning an award can help:
- Improve your brand
- Grow your professional profile
- Gain external recognition and credibility
- Provide valuable PR opportunities
- Being invited to exclusive networking events
For a business, it can showcase how your organisation is a safe, inclusive place to work, where women can look to progress in their careers and celebrate their achievements. You can also promote an award win to maximise success online, especially through social media.
