This award recognises the delivery of improved business performance a by implementing a programme of change, digital transformation or organisational development that also embeds a people-centric culture of high performance.     

Entries will articulate HR’s contribution and role in the transformation programme, from making the business case, agreeing the approach, embedding the change programme, building cross functional collaboration, mitigating negative outcomes, measuring the impact, as well as identifying future change requirements and how they will sustain success.   

There may be evidence of strong employee engagement and people-centric decision making in driving the change, improvements in the nature of jobs and the work itself, and the positive impact of digital transformation. Success is likely to include how it has benefited the employees and created a more sustainable organisation.
