Reardon Sanderson, general manager of group sales and marketing at Tiso Blackstar says, “The AMARA’s have grown to become the most sought after accolade in an industry that faces enormous challenges in South Africa. The responsibility the HR industry carries in matching employers and employees in mutually beneficial relationships is immense and often goes unacknowledged. This is why Tiso Blackstar is committed to honouring those individuals and agencies that contribute so much to the development and success of SA’s human capital.”
SA’s leading HR professionals adjudicated the entries in both the public and private sector. Alan Hosking (HR Future publisher) chaired the panel which included Mateboho Green (Manager Corporate Communications at Higher Education South Africa), Nikki Munsie (Business Director at Independent Agency Search & Selection), Ross Mengel (Managing Director at DMA People), and Welile Mabaso (Human capital Consultant).

This is evident in the concepts, wording, and visuals being used,” said Hosking, commenting on the 2017 award winners.
