We’re proud to announce the winners of the ME HR & Learning 2025 Awards, recognising people and organisations making a meaningful impact across HR, Learning, Leadership, and Workplace Innovation.

All award inclusions were based on a combination of industry recommendations, editor’s picks, and self-nominations, ensuring a broad and inclusive representation of excellence from across our community. 

The Awards themselves were judged through a rigorous evaluation process designed to ensure fairness, credibility, and relevance. Each nomination was assessed using a combination of industry peer recommendations, independent editorial review, and evidence submitted through self-nominations. Collectively, these inputs evaluated impact, innovation, professional excellence, and contribution to the wider community, resulting in a balanced and objective selection of award recipients.
