New Possible is on a mission to help every leader unlock the competitive advantage of their people. We do this by turning employee feedback into the kind of meaningful insight that can build a more engaged workforce.
We also want to highlight the successes of organizations that are truly passionate about delivering a world-class people experience. In this article we introduce the American HR Awards, which is our quest to find America's HR all-stars.
Organizations are as diverse as their people and that’s why we want to discover and celebrate firms from across the US. Whether you’re a young start-up, a not for profit or a global giant - we’d love to hear how your innovation, however big or small, is helping to create a better working world.
Nate Harwood, Founder of New Possible and American HR Awards judge said: “We know that there are many inspirational American firms and HR teams out there who are working hard to build better people experiences.

Take part in the ‘Best Overall People Experience’ category
The ‘Best Overall People Experience’ categories are decided by employee feedback captured using New Possible’s next generation NP360 assessment. To receive a personalized feedback link, email us at hello@newpossible.io. Feedback can be collected until 14th August.
NP360 is a short survey that gathers a 360-degree view of your people experience across seven themes, including satisfaction, wellbeing, work-life balance, relationships, culture, purpose and engagement. Individual responses are anonymous, and feedback is only shared with you.
After Winners have been announced, New Possible will provide you with a copy of responses and a free summary report.
