To bring some much needed positivity to the people industry during these challenging times, HRZone’s new Culture Pioneers initiative will be sharing inspirational stories for and about the HR and L&D communities in the coming months, and championing the heroes of culture change during the Covid-19 pandemic.
From 13th July 2020, people practitioners across the UK have the unique opportunity to celebrate their teams’ efforts to create better company cultures.
If you and/or your team have been focusing on culture change in these turbulent times – no matter where you are on your journey, or how many trials and tribulations you’ve faced along the way – we want to hear from you!
This is your chance to be recognised for your hard work and effort through the global health crisis.
Reasons to share and celebrate your story
Be recognised as a champion of people-first culture across our community of 90,000 people professionals.

Celebrating the pioneers of our profession
In these rapidly changing times a good company culture is not a ‘nice to have’, it’s a business imperative that must not be overlooked by the leadership team.
We want to shine a spotlight on those people professionals who are going above and beyond to nurture a culture that positively impacts the business, its people and wider society during the pandemic and beyond.
Whether you’re working for a small business with little resource but big, bold ideas or for a large organisation with a talented team striving to bring about change, we want to hear from you!
