BWG Foods Wins HR Business Growth Strategy Category at HR Leadership & Management Awards 2025

BWG Foods was named the winner of the HR Business Growth Strategy Category at the HR Leadership & Management Awards 2025 for its innovative Hire to Retire (H2R) programme earlier this year.

The organisation’s €2 million investment revolutionises the employee journey, enhancing recruitment, development, and retention while fostering a culture of care and continuous improvement. The initiative reflects BWG Foods’ commitment to empowering people through technology and streamlining HR operations to deliver measurable business impact.

Judges highlighted the entrant’s ability to transform HR processes and embed technology effectively across the organisation.

“BWG Foods was recognised for revolutionising HR operations using technology to boost engagement and streamline operations,” the judges said. “Their platform transforms hiring, payroll, and compliance, freeing teams to focus on culture and development. Strong leadership, seamless collaboration, and measurable results make this a game-changing example of HR driving real business impact.”

The award underscores broader trends within the HR Leadership & Management Awards, where winners are increasingly defined not only by their ability to deliver measurable outcomes, but also by their capacity to integrate modern digital tools, foster seamless cross-team collaboration, and respond proactively to the evolving expectations of employees and business leaders, setting a benchmark for excellence in strategic HR leadership.

The question now is: which specialist teams will deliver the next wave of progress in 2026? With categories covering all major areas of human resources, the forthcoming awards programme will continue to highlight organisations raising standards and redefining effective HR leadership.
