Managing Human Resources is one of the most challenging functions in any organization in today’s Knowledge Economy. What Oil was for Industrial age, Data is for the Information age. And the role played by the industrial machinery has been replaced by Human Capital with skills and a dynamic attitude.
For thriving in the Knowledge Economy and fierce global competition with disruptions coming from all corners, leading a team to achieve common organizational objectives is no mean feat. HR managers, HR departments, and HR Corporate Agencies do this challenging task behind the scenes. Even when the talent they helped hire or acquire leads a startup to become a Unicorn, they never get the share of applause they deserve.
The Global Society for Human Capital Management or the GSHCM has been recognizing the untiring contributions of the HR leaders in the most challenging of circumstances.
The GSHCM’s Global Corporate Organizations Award 2021 and Global People Icon Leaders of 2021 are a small way of recognizing the efforts and hard work of the casting directors in the award-winning movie called the global business. These awards celebrate and applaud the work of unsung heroes of HR behind the success stories companies are writing in their countries or globally.
The GSHCM’s awards are the biggest Global annual bonanza celebrating Corporate leadership, rewarding the best of the best. We recognize your game-changing and path-breaking HR Initiatives.
The 12th edition of the “Global People Leadership” is going to be the biggest ever such awards.
The global pandemic, remote work, video calls, and increasing stress due to uncertainty brought new challenges. As the global HR leaders prepare the workforce for the new normal, their endless meetings, Zoom calls, and initiatives go unnoticed.
As the world adjusts to the new normal, we also respond to it by aligning our awards with the changing world order. The conventional HR and People Management practices are no longer relevant as they were and need to be totally transformed. Employee well-being, both physical and mental, is now a top priority and WFH is a new reality. Succession planning took center stage for all corporates as no one knew what might happen.
Our awards recognize HR leaders – of the large, medium, and small enterprises – who have helped achieve a healthy Work/Life balance at their workplace, brought in employee happiness and deployed People Analytics to drive transformation.
Based on the feedback from expert panelists and participants of the 11th edition, two new award categories are added in the 12th edition of the awards. The first new addition is the category “Executive Search & Talent Advisory” and the second one is the “HR Consulting Company of the Year” award.
Strategy & Initiative– Strategy or initiatives adopted by the company to achieve the organizational objectives.
Career & Self-Development – How does your strategy, initiative, and program help employees to advance their career, align their personal goals with organizational goals, and lead to their self-development?
Execution &Implementation – Most strategies fail in execution and implementation. What did you do to successfully implement yours? Use of effective communication, teamwork, performance appraisals, and change management tools.
ROI & Business Impact–The ROI is the ultimate yardstick of all corporate decisions. Positive impact and the criteria to compare the effectiveness of the results against the set targets.

The COVID-19 pandemic made everyone realize the importance of taking care of their well-being – both physical and mental. Corporates learned that not only their employees, but the well-being of their families too matter when it comes to a productive team. These HR showed exemplary initiative to go the extra mile in taking care of their employees as their family members and created a lifelong bond of respect.
When the shutdowns happened, many businesses faced the threat of complete failure and bankruptcy. Surviving the next day was on their minds. But these HR leaders identified an opportunity amid the biggest threat to their businesses and re-skilled and up-skilled their teams in no time to face the challenges. Their businesses not only survived but thrived when everyone else was failing.
In 2022, change was forced upon us, and it was not easy to adjust to it. But the people leaders who were used to driving change gradually were forced to adapt to the new realities and they did wonders.
There were not one but multiple crises to deal with last year. In many teams’ key personnel were taken ill, and in some cases, we even lost them. This sudden vacuum at multiple levels caused concerns and panic. This award rewards the HR leaders who met and managed such crises with limited impact on their businesses.
This new category of awards recognizes the roles of Executive and Talent search and advisory services. The knowledge economy requires executives who can dare to think differently and spot talent before your competition does.
Another new addition this year recognizes the HR consultancy – often a thankless job – that is becoming more and more vital. As the HR departments struggle to keep up with all the changes, it is the HR consultants who guide them in the right direction and help avoid pitfalls.
