Recognise high‑potential HR practitioners who are driving people, culture and performance
Recognising the best young talent in the industry, HRD continues to seek entries for its much sought‑after Rising Stars 2026.
Professionals aged 35 or under who are already making their mark in HR are invited to step forward or be nominated by colleagues and leaders.
The list celebrates emerging HR practitioners who are driving progressive initiatives, contributing to strategy and building strong people‑focused cultures. Nominations remain open via the online form for HR professionals with 10 years or less of HR experience who are committed to a long‑term career in the profession.
Being recognised provides national exposure, enhances professional credibility and can help accelerate future career opportunities. For organisations, having a Rising Star on the team sends a strong message about investing in talent and supporting the leaders of tomorrow.
Submit nominations by Friday, 24 April.
Rising Stars 2026 will be featured on the HRD website in August.
