GLOBAL PEOPLE LEADERSHIP ICON AWARDS 2022

GLOBAL PEOPLE LEADERSHIP ICON AWARDS 2022

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 And the role played by the industrial machinery has been replaced by Human Capital with skills and a dynamic attitude.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.
