The CIPD Middle East People Awards are the benchmark of excellence in Human Resources and Learning and Development. We believe that the people profession can be the force for change. Every year we see exceptional entries that reflect the influence and impact that the people profession has on organisations. By entering these Awards you can showcase your best work and get the recognition you and your team deserve.

The Awards are the only awards in the region that celebrate individuals, teams and organisations for their outstanding achievements in people management and development and take stock of the region’s progress towards professionalising the HR function.

The Awards are open to all organisations, regardless of sector or size across the Middle East region and you do not have to be a CIPD member to enter. The winners will be announced at a Gala dinner on 11 December at the One&Only Royal Mirage.
