This year we received some very different entries from a wide range of organisations in our sector. The quality of entries overall was high and more organisations made it to the shortlist this year. We also had a great diverse panel of judges for each category form both our industry and the wider HR profession, the judges had a tough time and they deliberated and collaborated in their panels and sadly not everyone made it through to the shortlist!
But for those that did make it a huge well done! So, the shortlists for the 21st Annual HR in Hospitality Awards in 2016 are;
