The evening was characterized by moments that invited smiles, amazement and excitement: that special mixture of nervousness, anticipation and tense silence shortly before the announcement of a name - followed by jubilation, relief, tears, hugs and palpable pride. An emotional rollercoaster ride that shows anew every year just how much heart and soul goes into HR work.
