On September 19, more than 80 CHROs, HR directors, and HRIT experts immersed themselves in the world of Now, New, and Next in HR Technology, exploring the groundbreaking possibilities it offers during the first edition of the HR Technology Awards.
The HR Technology Awards were presented at the heart of innovation in Europe, the Brainport, at De Kazerne in Eindhoven. Throughout the evening, best practices in HR Technology Transformations were celebrated, showcasing the most innovative tools and systems that have revolutionized companies and organizations.
Two words characterized the first edition of the HR Technology Awards: analysis and tension. In a wide-ranging survey of the HR landscape, Randstad’s Michel Stokvis analyzed the challenges for HR, and made suggestions for how to deal with them. The tension built up when nine nominated companies presented their solutions to some of these challenges, attempting to win one of three HR Technology Awards, in three rounds. Between these rounds, the members of the audience had time to network, meet and learn from industry leaders and their peers.
The tension and excitement among the nominees was tangible, especially as the evening was drawing to a close. Ultimately, Just Eat Takeaway.com, Workday Peakon Employee Voice, and Crunchr were announced as winners by HR Changemaker and Jury Chair Anne Jaakke and went home with the coveted awards for Best HR Transformation using Technology, Best HR Technology Product Innovation of the Year, and Best Next Generation HR Technology.
