The competition gave practitioners and academics working in the fields of leadership, organisational development, and strategic HR the opportunity to get their work published and win a cash prize.
The winners are as follows:
Winner: Sara Hope and Emily Cosgrove
Second: Alison Reynolds and David Lewis
Third: Rachel Duffy
The winners’ piece, which explored the topic of mastering conversations as a key ingredient for effective leadership, will be published in HR magazine.
Roffey Park director of research, practice and qualifications Andy Smith, extended his congratulations to the winners and entrants. “Once again our research competition has showcased innovative thinking and new perspectives on issues being faced by organisations across the world," he said.
HR magazine editor Katie Jacobs said: "The papers submitted all tackled critical business issues we see our readers dealing with on a daily basis. It's encouraging to see the fresh thinking and evidence-based research approaches being taken to explore the challenges HR and business leaders are grappling with."
Roffey Park will publish the winning papers on its website, and the competition will run again in 2017.
