Annapurna would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 2013 has been a great year and we are looking to the future . 2014 is certainly looking to be exciting.
Annapurna has won two major awards this year. The first of which was Best Professional Services Agency at the Recruiter Awards for Excellence. The second was Innovator of the Year at the APSCo Awards which rewarded us for our TV channels (www.hrtn.tv, www.thettn.tv and www.thebtn.tv). We were also finalists at this years NORA awards, coming second in the category of Best Small Recruitment Agency.
Our European expansion into Germany has also been hugely exciting. With a registered office in Munich, we have seen the building of our new www.annapurnarecruitment.de site and the creation of our German team who specialise in HR and IT recruitment in Germany.
We have also unveiled Annapurna Giving which is set to begin in 2014. The charities have been selected by the directors Nigel, James and Charlie and will cover a cross section of causes from environmental to human interest. The charities selected for next year are British Red Cross, Havens Hospice, Golden Giving, Greenpeace, Amnesty International, The Soup Kitchen and Fresh2o. Check back to our website in January for more information on how you can get involved.
The HR Transformation Network (www.hrtn.tv) is still the largest HR change group in the world, now with over 6,700 members. This year it has brought you our most well received TV series, ‘The Future of Resourcing’ which culminated in a fantastic VIP event at the Andaz Studio in November this year.
The Business Transformation (www.thebtn.tv) has rapidly increased this year with nearly 1,000 members worldwide. Having run many successful events, with highlights including Michel Looyens, VP Business Transformation at Coca-Cola Enterprises event ‘Measuring change’ LINK,the Business Transformation Network has become extremely popular.
The Technology Transformation Network (www.thettn.tv) now has nearly 600 members but is looking to continuously grow in size. 2014 promises to bring some great events with themes such as software development and one of the big buzz words around in the business world today, big data.
