About the 2025 awards
Who was recognised in the Xobin HR Awards 2025?
Fifty HR practitioners from India, the Gulf, South East Asia and North America whose work produced a measurable change in how people are hired, developed or included at their organisation.
How were the 2025 HR leaders selected?
From open nominations reviewed against evidence of practice: what the leader changed, the scope of the change, and the outcome they could show, rather than follower counts or job title.
Can I nominate someone for the next edition?
Yes. Nominations for the 2026 recognition series are open, and you can nominate a peer or yourself from the 2026 awards page.
