On December 12, 2024, the main event of the year in the HR industry took place – the award ceremony of the winners of the HR Brand Ukraine 2024 Award for the best achievements in the field of human resources management and the “WORLDS” conference.
The organizer of the all-Ukrainian independent HR Brand Award and the “WORLDS” conference was Eclectic Talents Group.
This season, 46 leading Ukrainian and international companies were nominated for the HR Brand Award; they presented 63 projects to compete for the title of the best.
“The HR Brand Ukraine 2024 Award has become a true symbol of the strength, humanity and innovation of Ukrainian business. We have seen systematic and comprehensive solutions to increase employee engagement, and this is engagement of the highest quality: through meanings, values, caring for the health and psycho-emotional state of people, improving the experience of interaction between employees and employers, creating a digital work environment and conditions for continuous learning and development. The key theme of many projects this year was inclusivity and barrier-freeness, the topic of equal gender opportunities for women. Despite the challenges of today, Ukrainian companies are holding the economic front, turning challenges into opportunities and taking care of the sustainable development of human capital not in words, but in deeds. This inspires and proves that together we can do more, that Ukraine is not only about struggle, but also about development and future recovery,” comments Larisa Onipko, leader of the HR Brand Ukraine Award.
At the conference of the HR Brand Award “WORLDS” important topics were raised: human capital as the basis of economic breakthrough; search for reserves for restarting the labor market; human-centricity, sense-making, diversity and inclusion; return of veterans to civilian life; change of leadership paradigm, training and development of CEOs and how companies can be a better employer for their employees.
After the conference, a bright award ceremony of the winners of the HR Brand Award 2024 Ukraine took place.
The professional jury determined the winners of the Award in 15 nominations, taking into account the modernity and innovation of projects, the effectiveness and efficiency of solutions, the impact on the development of human capital and support for employees.
“The HR Brand Ukraine Award is not only a recognition of the best projects, but also a unique opportunity to exchange ideas that have already proven their effectiveness in real business. It shows that even in the most difficult times, Ukrainian companies do not give up. We grow, learn, implement new approaches, change not only businesses, but also people’s lives. This is an opportunity to give the HR community tools that work and motivate them to become even better. Together we are building a future where Ukrainian companies are an example of strength, endurance and an innovative approach,” comments Artem Nikishov, partner at Eclectic Talents Group.
Congratulations to the winners, who inspire with their achievements, form new standards and make a significant contribution to the development of the HR culture in Ukraine!
