Jersey's HR stars revealed

Thursday 07 November 2019

Stars of the island's HR community have been recognised for their "outstanding achievements" in people management and development.

The accolades came during the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development's (CIPD) annual awards ceremony, which took place at the Royal Yacht on 2 November.

“We were thrilled with the entries for this year’s awards, the calibre of which gave the judges a very difficult job to do," said Kerry Osmand, CIPD Jersey Chair.

"It also gave us a real indication of the high quality of HR Professionals we have in Jersey. The HR community makes a difference within their own organisations but also helps enhance the reputation of the profession itself. This is now seen as a key business function with credibility and in many cases, board presence."

Six awards were presented to individuals and businesses on the night.

In addition, a Commendation Award was presented to HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man for their entries for the Most Successful Diversity and Inclusion Programme and Best Health and Wellbeing Initiative.
