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 And the role played by the industrial machinery has been replaced by Human Capital with skills and a dynamic attitude.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.
A people icon is a person who has individually brought about innovation, change, disruption, and betterment to the HR practices of their company. They are the rebels who dared to think differently, who saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and who risked everything for what they believed in.
GSHCM’s Global People Leadership Icon Awards 2021 celebrate the contributions of People leaders who are passionate about bringing out the best in their teams. We recognize the salute to the Human Capital Leaders who see business functions serving people and not the other way round.
The award recognizes the individual contributions of the CEOs who give the vision, CHR Officer who develop strategies, and HR business partners who implement them. We recognize the disruptive role of new HR Technology, the role of Good Governance and Well-being practices in talent management and salute the lifelong contributions to the veterans with a Lifetime Achievement award.

The pilot of the flight and CEO have one thing in common – the survival, scale, and height depend on their actions. The new male CEOs are not the macho man of the wild west – they are confident but grounded, they are smart but humble.
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.
Good governance and wellness took precedence over everything else. Companies that were managed with transparency and put people before profits, not only survived but emerged victorious in 2021. The HR leaders who advocate good governance and employee welfare often go without applause and laurels, but not anymore.
This new category of Lifetime Achievement recognizes an era as an HR professional and People Leader. They have seen multiple cycles of ups and downs and adapted to numerous changes. They have brought the best practices to corporations who were not amenable to change at all.
Technology is defining every aspect of business and HR is not unaffected by it. The role of technology in acquiring talent, training, appraisal, and career development is changing the business scene completely.
