Introducing the 2019 CHRO Awards nominees
This will be the year the CHRO community celebrates excellence by recognising the best among an already impressive bunch of CHRO Awards nominees.
Having launched the HR Indaba in 2018, CHRO SA will achieve another major milestone this year with the hosting of the inaugural CHRO Awards, which will be held at Summer Place in Hyde Park, Johannesburg on 27 November.
“The black-tie dinner on 27 November will be an unforgettable night of glitz, glamour, fantastic food and essential networking. At the same time, the eight awards will go a long way to shine a light on the world-class excellence that has come to typify South Africa’s best human resources leaders,” says Joël Roerig, MD of CHRO South Africa, the organisation that puts the event together.
The awards include:
• CHRO of the Year
• Employee Value Proposition Award
• Talent Management Award
• HR & Technology Award
• Transformation & Empowerment Award
• Strategy & Leadership Award
• Learning & Development Award
• Young CHRO of the Year Award
The comprehensive and rigorous awards process is inspired by the success of the CFO Awards, which have become known as the Oscars of Finance since being launched in 2014. Given the calibre of judges and first round of nominees, the CHRO Awards are bound to be equally successful.

• Clive Smith, CEO, Tsebo Group
