- People Analytics Platform Awards Professionals for Significant Contributions to Their Companies
ChartHop recognizes 10 of the most innovative HR leaders in its inaugural People Pioneers Award. The People Pioneers Award is designed to honor the HR leaders who have made a positive impact on their companies through cultural change, company growth, new benefits programs and other significant accomplishments.
More than half of HR leaders surveyed by Gartner in 2021 said their employees were suffering from change fatigue, resulting in the need for stronger initiatives. People Pioneers Award winners stand out because they acted as the driving force behind people-led initiatives in their organizations, many of which represented a new approach to tackling the unique challenges of the past two years. Their positive impact, felt by colleagues who nominated them for the award, included delivering meaningful increases in employee retention and engagement as well as introducing more scalable and diverse hiring practices to attract top talent in a competitive market.
