We are excited to announce that we have updated and streamlined the 2024 HRO Today Association Awards! Nominating questions are divided between four relevant factors that allow us to effectively compare and evaluate nominees: effectiveness, impact, innovation, and sustainability.
It is now easier than ever to nominate the HR celebrities in your life. We offer nine different awards categories, celebrating accomplishments ranging from DEI excellence, to innovative use of technology, superb teamwork, and more! All award categories will be recognized with finalists and winners selected in each of our three regional groups: APAC, EMEA, and North America. Please click here to learn more. The submission deadline is October 1, 2024.
The Q3 Roundtable for the Talent Acquisition/Management Knowledge Center will take place on September 26th, with a focus on Employee Engagement in the Age of AI: Strategies for Retention, while the DEI Knowledge Center, taking place on September 27th, will allow members to share DEI Strategies and Action Items That Work. Knowledge Centers are communities within the HRO Today Association that bring together subsections of members based on their individual interests and focus, while complementing the Association’s activities. Please visit our Knowledge Center webpage to learn more and email Connor.Feeney@SharedXpertise.com to become a member of a Knowledge Center today!
Included with HRO Today Association membership, our HR Table Talks provide a safe space for members of the HRO Today Association to discuss challenging issues.
