The Trailblazers: Leading with Purpose, Driving Impact

Celebrating the Champions of Human Capital

In its 18th iteration, the SHRI HR Awards proudly returns as a regional benchmark for HR excellence — honouring organisations and professionals who are reshaping people practices, championing innovation, and building a resilient workforce for the future.

This year’s celebration is especially significant as SHRI marks its 60th Anniversary, with the theme: Honouring the Past, Inspiring the Present, and Enabling the Future. Anchoring this milestone is our 2025 focus – “The Trailblazers: Leading with Purpose, Driving Impact” – which recognises HR leaders and organisations whose bold vision and people-first strategies are powering workplace transformation.

Recognising companies that have achieved Gold, Silver, or Bronze standards, the Awards continue to uphold Singapore’s legacy in advancing human capital excellence. As a leading HR membership body, SHRI remains committed to spotlighting those who contribute meaningfully to Singapore’s progress by developing its most valuable asset – its people.

At the much-anticipated Presentation Ceremony, the HR community will come together to celebrate impactful achievements and honour those making a lasting difference in the field of HR.

Join us as we celebrate the past, inspire the present, and enable the future of HR – together.
