SqwidNet named finalist for Best Use of Technology Award in Future of HR Awards 2020


Johannesburg, 26 Nov 2020

SqwidNet is delighted to announce it has been selected as a finalist for this year’s Future of HR Awards.

The Future of HR Awards celebrates candidates who represent the best in the human resources (HR) management profession in South Africa. 

In response to the global pandemic, the awards have become a virtual event. The virtual summit brings together industry leaders to recognise individuals, teams and organisations for their outstanding achievements in people management by showcasing strategies and practices that deliver direct impact on business performance and innovations that set new standards for the industry.

“We are excited to have been named as a finalist for the Best Use of Technology Award, and we believe this would not have been possible without our channel partners who played an enormous role. We believe in driving innovation through IOT, and that there is a lot more that can be done to make a difference by using technology to better lives,” says Phathizwe Malinga, Managing Director, SqwidNet.

“The pandemic has altered the way we work and an innovative approach to technology, systems and management of human capital has become more important than ever. That is why we believe it is imperative to recognise the companies and individuals such as SqwidNet who are transforming HR and enacting meaningful change,” explains Topco Media CEO Ralf Fletcher.

The Future of HR Award winners will be announced on the evening of 26 November at the virtual award ceremony.
