Singapore's Most Respected
HR Recognition

Organised by the Singapore Human Resources Institute (SHRI), the Singapore HR Awards recognise organisations and individuals that have made a meaningful difference to their people and workplaces. Now in its 19th edition, the awards celebrate HR practice that is grounded, strategic, and genuinely impactful.

For the organisations and practitioners honoured each year, recognition is both an acknowledgement of what has been built and an encouragement to continue building it. The awards are also a valuable benchmarking exercise. A strong nomination process helps organisations step back, evaluate what they have built, identify where evidence is strongest or weakest, and compare their efforts against practices emerging across the wider HR community.

The process itself can surface useful insights for leaders, HR teams, and business partners. Even for organisations that do not proceed to the final stage, the nomination process offers a useful opportunity to examine the maturity, evidence, and sustainability of their people practices.

The Sound of
Heart Work

The Sound of Heart Work gives voice to the often unspoken reality behind every people decision. It recognises the moments that shape lives, test judgement, and demand both courage and care.

This is the work that keeps on beating.

The tagline carries a deliberate double meaning. "Heart work" echoes "hard work", so the rhythm is familiar. But the substitution reframes everything. Heart work is deliberate, people-centred and values-driven. It names what HR practitioners do that is not administrative or transactional, but led by conviction.

Award Categories

The 19th Singapore HR Awards features 10 nominated categories, including three newly introduced categories that reflect emerging priorities in HR, alongside 3 Special Awards.
