This is according to Stephen Jones, an investor in YFJ, who notes that while there are many companies who already do “fantastically well”, it would be “foolhardy to say that its all perfect, and there are opportunities for us here to embrace best practice and do things better”.The awards launch this year in partnership with Recruiter, with the judging panel, chaired by the magazine’s editor DeeDee Doke, announced in the July edition of the magazine

The inaugural People Awards are due to be held 6 November in Manchester, and entries in a variety of HR and talent categories will be accepted on the event’s website through 23 August.
