Celebrating excellence in people development  

The CIPD HR Awards in Ireland celebrate and showcase the outstanding work and impact of the people profession – reflecting both the core areas of work and current trends. Recipients of our awards are noted among their peers as having achieved the top tier within their field. Designed to recognise the impact of the people profession, along with our robust judging process, this is what excellence looks like.​

The standard has consistently risen each year and our judges faced very difficult decisions this year. With the fabulous Kathryn Thomas leading the fanfare, we announced 14 spectacular award winners and one special commendation for 2024. Follow along on social media to stay in touch with the conversation.

​Congratulations everyone!
