Human Resource Executive® invites you to help us recognize excellence in the next generation of HR leaders with our annual Rising Stars awards. Nominees must be up-and-coming stars in the profession who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership skills and an ability to tackle difficult business challenges while enhancing the role of the HR function. Candidates must be leading—but not senior-most—HR executives at their organizations or the heads of major HR disciplines.
HR professionals near the top of their organization’s human resource function who have demonstrated leadership, the ability to successfully launch significant HR initiatives and programs, and the ability to tackle major HR-related challenges are eligible to be nominated. We seek candidates who have accomplished significant achievements in three areas, including something related to the most pressing issues facing leaders today.
