The final countdown has begun as the deadline for submissions for the 2022 CIPD North East of England HR&D Awards fast approaches.

The awards showcase and applaud the excellent HR&D practices in our region. At the centre of all the changes we have experienced in our working lives over the last two years has been the hard-working HR&D teams and individuals helping people and organisations through the challenging and testing times. Now is the chance to celebrate all that has been achieved!

Businesses are being urged to submit their entries for the 2022 awards ahead of the deadline of midnight this evening, Friday, April 22.

The winners will be announced at a gala dinner on June 30, 2022 at the newly refurbished The Fed in Gateshead.
