CBI reveals shortlist for Human Capital Awards

The CBI and Real Finance have revealed the shortlist for their Human Capital Awards, held in association with Microsoft.

Susan Anderson, CBI director of HR Policy and member of the Human Capital Awards judging panel, said: "The quality of entries to these new awards has truly impressed the judges. The practices and initiatives we have seen, together with their results, show that this new measure of excellence has clearly not come before time.
