2023 Sponsors
Over the last 12 months, the Australian HR sector has had to deal with an array of challenges, from adjusting to remote and hybrid working, to addressing labour shortages, to navigating a series of new workplace laws. All while the nation battles through a cost of living crisis. And throughout these challenges, HR teams have worked to support the needs of employees while helping their organisations meet their broader goals.

Nominations A nationwide call for nominations was conducted from April to May 2023 using HR’s online channels. All nominations were submitted via the official Australian HR Awards online portal.
Confirmation of Excellence Awardees Once the research was completed, Excellence Awardees were selected in each category and notified via email. Excellence Awardees were also announced on HRD Australia’s website.
Judging The Australian HR Awards team provided full details of each Excellence Awardee to an independent panel of judges comprising leaders and senior representatives of the HR industry. The judges are well known and well respected within the industry, and their judgment is impartial, balanced, incisive and fair. Any judge with a conflict of interest in a particular category recuses themselves from judging that category. Judges reviewed the Excellence Awardee submissions and allocated a score to each Excellence Awardee. The Excellence Awardee with the highest score in each category once the judging process was completed was named the winner of the category.

“The pace of change within the people and culture, the HR world, is immense,” said William Prest, business director, HR recruitment at Hays. “Every year, there’s different components of complexity which come into the world of work … it’s shifting so quickly. So, we as HR professionals need to keep up the pace for that.” Honouring HR achievements The 2023 Australian HR Awards recognised the hard work and achievements of individuals and teams across the nation’s human resources industry over the past year. “It’s a very important industry, a very underappreciated industry,” said Australian Business Lawyers & Advisors director Julian Arndt. “[HR] are on the front line of all the stuff we do as employment lawyers, so they deserve some credit, and they got it tonight.” Held in Sydney in its 10th year, the awards covered 20 categories, including HR Director of the Year, HR Rising Star of the Year, HR Champion of the Year (CEO), as well as several team and program awards. “It’s been so heartwarming to see how excited all these teams are to come together and just celebrate,” said LinkedIn sales manager Nicole Butler. “This is the night they get to recognise all their efforts.” Individuals and teams who triumphed Bernadette Cavanagh from the City of Parramatta won the prestigious HR Director of the Year Award. “It’s very surreal,” she said about winning the award. Capgemini’s Kaylene O’Brien was given the award for Australian HR Champion of the Year. “I’m so excited and so elated,” she said. “And it’s so nice to be here with my team; they’ve just been such big supporters.” O’Brien went on to describe the most rewarding part of her role. “The most rewarding part is knowing that I get to help all of our team members be their best at work and to get the future they want,” she said. Securing the HR Team of the Year award (>1000 Employees) was Publicis Groupe, who were honoured to win the award, the company’s Jessica Farrell told HRD Australia. “The entire HR team at Publicis Groupe have been working really hard collectively over the last few years, and I think this is a testament to all of their dedication and passion for the industry that we’re in,” she said. Best program awards The HR awards recognised organisations leading the charge with their remote and flexible working options. Yarra Valley Water won the award for Best Remote Work Strategy, with head of enterprise change Daniel Smith highlighting why it’s important for organisations to offer remote work options where possible. “In the modern world, the boundaries are blurred,” he said. “We all know this from COVID. So, without it we’re tied down to old traditional ways of working that just don’t work anymore.” Receiving the Best Workplace Flexibility Program was Our Watch, a non-profit organisation that works in the primary prevention of violence against women and their children. “As the war for talent rises, flexible working is just a ticket to the game these days, particularly post-COVID as well, and the expectations of staff have changed,” said head of people and culture Chantal McCrae. “I’m really proud that Our Watch is doing this.” The rise of organisations embracing workplace flexibility comes amid the Australian Parliament passing reforms to provide employees with additional and more flexible unpaid parental leave (UPL). Under the Protecting Worker Entitlements Bill, employees will be able to take up to 100 flexible UPL days, up from the previous 30. The reforms also allow them to commence UPL at any time in the 24 months following the birth or placement of their child. As the future brings with it more changes and challenges for HR – from the potential of artificial intelligence to the possibility of new workplace reforms – what will always remain are the people who constantly seek creative ways to handle them. And the Australian HR Awards will be there to honour them.
Research and selection of Excellence Awardees The Australian HR Awards team conducted research and drew on industry knowledge and information gained through sister publication HRD Australia to identify the outstanding teams and individuals in each category who received Excellence Awards.

As one half of Merrick and Rosso, Merrick Watts took Triple J drive to ratings highs, was the first voice on the NOVA network and built a cult TV fan base with shows on Nine, Ten and the Comedy Channel. As a solo performer, Merrick has carved out a new course: as an actor on The Hollowmen and Underbelly; and as a comedian, touring a solo show for the first time in 2017 with Man of the House and appearing on TV shows such as Thank God You’re Here, The Project, and Hughesy We Have a Problem. He’s also been performing regularly as a panellist on Network Ten’s Studio 10. Still a regular on radio, Merrick recently had his own drive show on Triple M Sydney and he can now be heard regularly on a variety of stations across the country including regular appearances on 2GB. Merrick started a series of stand up gigs called Grapes of Mirth in 2018 which tour a range of his stand-up comedian mates to wineries around the country for acclaimed sell out shows. In 2020, Merrick undertook a physically and psychologically demanding training course as part of his appearance in Channel 7’s SAS: Australia. The record-breaking show saw Merrick push himself to the limit as he underwent a series of tests from the real SAS selection process. There are over 24 million people in this country and you’d be hard-pressed to find one that doesn’t know this radio veteran’s name. Merrick is well recognised as a leading performer in comedy and entertainment, and has a wealth of experience in MCing corporate events, awards nights, product launches, company Christmas parties etc. He can entertain your audience as auctioneer and even get results! To describe him as “multi-talented” is a gross understatement (at least that’s what he reckons!). He has the incredible ability to perform in any arena, big or small, and can cater his material for all audiences, including building a multi-media PowerPoint presentation chocked full of jokes, customised to suit your occasion! Based in Sydney but willing to travel, Merrick is perfect for those gigs that Vince Sorrenti said no to, or Richard Wilkins was too expensive for. He’s also capable of not swearing at absolutely no additional cost!
