The winners of the 2023 HR Experience Makers Awards are as follows:

Hilary Harrison – HR Manager at Telogical Systems, Winner of the "Heart & Soul" category

Telogical Systems's COO Scott Bittinger nominated Hilary, saying "She is intentional, thoughtful, humble, and compassionate. One specific effort that has garnered heartfelt appreciation from our team is the way that she demonstrates care for people who have lost pets. To honor their memory, Hilary commissions an online artist to draw a sketch of a photo of the pet and has it sent to the mourning team member. It seems a simple thing, but because the gift reflects the heart of the giver, our team is incredibly grateful every time."

Simon Williams – Head of Legal and Client Onboarding at Nomos One, Winner of the "Career Growth/Advocate" category

Mel Warhurst, People & Experience Partner at Nomos One, nominated Simon, saying "What sets Simon apart is his genuine concern for his team's growth and development and tireless efforts to create opportunities for individual team members to thrive. Proactively, Simon worked with his individual team members and wider business stakeholders (finance, other team leaders, and wider HR), to design comprehensive retention plans that outline clear paths for advancement and skill enhancement in areas where his team wanted their careers to go, along with set, researched, and agreed upon rewards and remuneration."

Karis Curtis – Corporate Recruiter at Facilities Management Express (FMX), Winner of the "Business Growth" category

Karis's supervisor, Abby Filer, VP of People Operations at FMX, said the following, "Since Karis started with FMX, she has recruited and hired 76 teammates across the organization, spanning 9 different departments. She did this while maintaining an average of 40 days to hire, with the industry average being 44 days. Not only has Karis shown a commitment to fast, high-volume hiring, but she has stayed true to our company values of Excellence and Integrity along the way by ensuring that the candidates that we hire at the best of the best, not only from a talent standpoint, but from a value-based fit as well."

Morufat Omokanye – Director of HR Compliance & Business Development at 1st Class Childcare, Winner of the "Strategic Leadership" category

1st Class Childcare founder, Anita Barron, nominated Morufat, saying "Morufat is exceptional in every way. She championed finding the right program for our growing company, spent weeks comparing and contrasting each of the options, and upon choosing BambooHR, she completed the training, implementation, and taught all of us how to use the system and tools. We love BambooHR and without Morufat we would still be struggling with pieced together systems and practices instead of using a streamlined approach which has saved us thousands each year and increased the professional practices and appearance of our company."

Andreas Angelakis – Workplace & Culture Manager at Uberall, Winner of the "Employee Experience" category

Ava Hegedus, Head of Workplace & Culture at Uberall, nominated Andreas, because "Andreas is the ultimate culture ambassador. He lives and breathes Uberall values in everything he does. He especially embodies our first core value, Grow Together. It's all about being friendly and humble and helping other Uberallers to grow and connect. Whether it's planning awesome parties, welcoming and onboarding our new joiners each month, redesigning our Berlin office to be more collaborative, or pitching and launching an international co-working solution with Upflex, Andreas's work profoundly impacts the culture at Uberall."

Rachel Woo, Sr. HR Business Partner at Trulioo, nominated Alicia, saying "Alicia has redefined the way we perceive, practice, and promote employee experiences, making a palpable difference in the lives of every team member.
