HR Most Influential 2021: who were out top thinkers and practitioners?
October saw the return of HR magazine's HR Most Influential (HRMI) rankings, which were this year held at St Paul's Cathedral.
The list recognises the HR practitioners and thinkers who go above and beyond the day job to advance the HR profession and share best practice with the wider HR community.
This year HR magazine decided to cast the net wider and ask a wider range of individuals from across the public, private and third sectors to nominate their top HR practitioners and thinkers.

According to a survey by lighting company E-conolight, 45% of US workers had at some point done work for another company while on the clock.
