Conceptualised 13 years ago, People Matters Are You In The List Awards has become the beacon to identify a handful of talent powerhouses who are bold, courageous, resilient and future-forward.
In 2024 and beyond, HR leaders are in a volatile business environment, where they need to act decisively and courageously so that their organisations can benefit from operating in a future-fit model of business and work.
