The HR Heroes are for any organization that uses Oracle Fusion HCM Cloud in HR and has done extraordinary things in the workplace to make work more human. This includes driving exceptional focus on the employee experience and overall well-being.
Are the HR Heroes Awards global?
Yes, with very few exceptions. Review the program rules (PDF) for any current restrictions.

Absolutely. However, each organization may only submit one nomination per category. If nominations are submitted by one organization for additional categories, each nomination must be materially different than any others submitted.
What makes a winning entry?
Our judges are looking to highlight some of the incredible stories emerging in recent years, where people in HR are putting employee experience, equal opportunities and overall employee well-being front and center.
