The REC is once again delighted to be associated with the Irish News Workplace & Employment Awards. It is very important that together we continue to highlight and promote the very high standards found in so many companies. There has never been a more critical time for businesses to display best practice and this event brings together all the people who strive constantly to make a big difference in their places of work.

Chairman (UK) Recruitment and Employment Confederation




Best Practice, innovative Human Resource initiatives bring added value to organisations and are especially relevant in the current economic environment. The 2009 Irish News Workplace & Employment Awards provide an excellent opportunity for organisations to 'showcase' their activities. The Northern Ireland Branch of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development are pleased to support and encourage participation in these prestigious Awards.
