Awards

HRtech believes technology is a driving force in a rapidly changing world of work. It will be instrumental in designing more efficient processes, creating an engaging employee experience and enable better decision making. We present two awards. The HRtech.team.award for team of the year and the HRtech.startup.award for startup of the year. Did your organisation realise a strong HRtech project to empower your team? Then put yourself forward for the HRtech.team.award and win a one-year subscription (worth €2500) to teambuilding platform Funkey Bizz. On top of that, Funkey is offering a budget of €1000 for a teambuilding activity of your choice.
