122 Top CHROs in 2024

How do you judge the success of a Chief Human Resources Officer? The answer’s simple - just look at how badly people want to work for their company.

Culture is the “It” factor that companies desperately want to possess because they have grown to understand that regardless of the business they are in, they will always be in the people business.

The CHRO is the among the chief architects of an organization’s culture, and the people recognized here have certainly played their part in the success of their enterprise.

peopleHum is delighted to recognize the Top ‘Ones’ of ’24!

Disclaimer: The list is purely subjective and is created on the basis of relevant experience and contribution of the selected professionals. If you have any suggestions or recommendations of names who deserve to be a part of the list, please reach out to us and nominate your choice.

How do you evaluate a chief human resources officer's success, and who qualifies for the 2022 Top CHRO List? This year's winners were chosen using the following methodology:

• Interviews, conferences, recognition and recommendations by peers.  
• Their influence on the growth and performance of the affiliated organisations.  
• Their influence on their industry and the larger communities that they serve.  
• An examination of the talent that they have assisted in attracting and retaining.
• General and specific observations about the company culture they have helped to shape.
• Diversity and inclusion are a cornerstone of their work, not an afterthought.  
• Consideration of the progressive development plans and programmes that have been made available to the workforce.
• Consideration of positive workplace dynamics, engagement, and satisfaction.
• Those named to the Top 2022 CHRO List must be engaged, transparent, and accountable – in other words, they must care deeply about their employees and their holistic well-being.

While the above list is far from exhaustive, it does begin to paint a picture of the critical roles that CHROs play in the success of any business. The words leadership, team, succession, purpose, culture, governance, and diversity are not just buzzwords on the 2022 Top CHRO List; they represent who a CHRO is, what they believe, and where they work every day.
