Announcing our call for nominations for the HR leaders who have made a standout impact on their organisations and our profession.
CIPD HR30 is our new, annual award to celebrate the top 30 people professionals who have shown exceptional leadership and commitment to their organisations and our profession.
Based on nominations from across our global community, we’ll champion those paving the way for our profession and showcase their vital work to lead change, innovate and inspire others.
“Delivering strategic, impactful HR across our organisations demands vision, leadership and a commitment to invest in ourselves. Our new HR30 award celebrates the top 30 HR leaders across our global community and champions the vital work our profession does.”
Are you working with an HR leader who’s brought about a major change across your workplace? Or transformed your organisation’s culture? Or delivered the strategy that’s helped your people leaders retain and inspire your employees?
Your nomination could give them the chance to share their success on a global stage, inspire other people professionals and build influential connections across our industry.
Has your work this year made a significant difference in your organisation? Could your contribution inspire others and champion the professionalism we expect from our community?
For some nominees, a place on our HE30 list could start their journey toward becoming a CIPD Chartered Companion, our highest accolade for leaders in HR and people development.
All HR30 nominations will be considered by our independent panel of industry leaders, senior people professionals and HR experts. Judges will evaluate nominees’ leadership and vision, and their contribution and impact over the past 12 months.
The final top HR30 list will be announced at our exclusive awards event on 11 June 2025.
The deadline for nominations is 26 March 2025.
