Intersport Elvery's HR Team take home two honours at HR Leadership & Management Awards

At the heart of any great workplace are its people. Winning the Overall Excellence in HR award is a testament to what happens when you truly prioritize culture, continuous growth, and team wellbeing. The judges highlighted an approach that puts employee engagement and professional development right at the centre of the business strategy. By fostering inclusive leadership and a commitment to constant improvement, this strategy does more than just meet corporate goals, it creates an environment where everyone has the support and space to thrive.

Intersport Elverys were also recognised for the Best Workplace DEI Impact Award. The judging panel stated “This entrant’s comprehensive DE&I framework delivers meaningful impact across its workforce, policies, and community initiatives, active leadership support, paired with targeted efforts in health, career advancement, and representation—plus a genuine commitment to addressing ongoing challenges—highlights an authentic drive toward an inclusive culture.”

Earning the DE&I distinction alongside the night's top honour proves this strategy extends well beyond headline promises. The judges sought out practical execution, from holistic employee wellbeing to clear pathways for career growth and visible leadership backing. Equally important was the team's transparency about work still in progress, a level of frankness that transforms aspirational ideas into credible, lasting progress.

These two wins show how leadership, culture, and inclusion can operate as one connected people strategy. A great night for Intersport Elverys!
