Final call: Just 2 weeks left to enter the 2026 Future of HR Awards

Your team has invested in better people strategies; transforming employee experience, rolling out new HR technology, strengthening culture, advancing diversity and inclusion, or building programmes that are genuinely changing how your organisation works. But if those achievements stay buried in internal presentations and annual reports, your industry may never see them.

With just two weeks left, HR leaders and organisations across Africa have until 16 September 2026 to enter the 2026 Future of HR Awards, celebrating the people, technology and culture initiatives redefining human capital management across the continent.

What's at stake if you sit this one out

• Visibility. Winners gain media coverage, industry recognition and social visibility; the recognition that could be yours may go to a competitor instead.

• Employer brand. Talent wants proof, not promises. Independent recognition gives your careers page and culture messaging something competitors' claims can't match.

• Benchmarking. Is your HR technology strategy ahead of the curve? Is your wellbeing approach competitive? Without external comparison, it's hard to know where you really stand.

• Internal buy-in. External recognition gives HR leaders concrete proof points when making the case to the C-suite for continued investment in people and technology.

Two complimentary entries. One final opportunity

There are just two weeks left to enter the 2026 Future of HR Awards and organisations can claim two complimentary category entries using promo code FOHRA2026.
