Stoke-on-Trent City Council’s Human Resources (HR) team have been nominated for the Excellence in Public Sector HR, Personnel Today Award.

Councillor Olwen Hamer, cabinet member for transformation and resources, said: “Our HR team does a tremendous job within the council and it’s wonderful that this work is being recognised by a national audience. The competition is extremely tough but hopefully now we can go that one step further and claim the award.”
