The three companies had previously qualified as finalists in a tough selection process by the award jury.
Kimberly Breuer, Co-Founder & CEO of Likeminded, sees the award win and the judgement as confirmation of her commitment to the mental fitness of employees and corresponding offers by employers.
“The HR Startup Award will help us move forward because it also puts the spotlight on mental health, which is often underestimated as a cause of illness. Employers should therefore provide corresponding offers anonymously and democratically,” says Breuer. She emphasises the crucial role of HR in this.
After 2023, the jury once again awarded a special prize, this time to Onuava – an online fertility platform that helps companies to support employees on their journey to having a child.
“Onuava addresses important topics such as infertility and family planning, which are significant for the economy and society. That’s why the jury once again decided to award a special prize,” explains Michael H. Kramarsch, Co-Chair of the award jury. “Onuava is breaking the taboo around the desire to have children by offering fertility services and integrating the topic into the corporate agenda, which promotes open discussions.”

But managing this with all its legal implications is not easy. We are very pleased that the audience recognized a helpful solution in our offer – that motivates us a lot!”, says Uwe Michaelis, Founder & Managing Director of the Freiburg-based company whatever.works, which was renamed shortly before the PMK. BPM President Inga Dransfeld-Haase explains thebackground of the special award for heynannyly and stafftastic: “In recent years, the quality of submissions has increased so much that it was very difficult to choose just three finalists and end up with just one winner. At the same time, there were start-ups that, despite a highly qualified application, could not be squeezed into the strict evaluation scheme of innovation, entrepreneurship and value proposition – and still impressed the entire jury. These were often start-ups that addressed a socially or economically relevant topic. This year’s special award winners from heynannyly and stafftastic are a good example of this.” For more information, see the press release.

March 13, 2019 And the winner was… HUMANOO! Founder Philip Pogoretschnik on his participation in the HR Start-up Award 2017 Many ideas are good in a timeless way, but eventually become outdated. Take, for example, company team sports. While providing a real benefit enjoyed by employers and employees alike, it rarely inspires wide sections of the workforce. HUMANOO, a digital health platform that incentivizes the health commitment of employees, has set out to change this. In 2017, CEO and founder Philip Pogoretschnik convinced the audience at the HR Start-up Awards with this idea. A short interview about his HR Start-up award experience and the development of his start-up.
The Award
The innovation prize for the HR community: The HR Start-up Award has been providing highly promising start-up companies, focusing on HR orientated products, a high-profile platform since 2016. Those who make it to the final are able to pitch their product in front of a top-class judging panel and a large audience of decision-makers and experts in the field of HR management. Apart from the award event itself, the finalists have the opportunity to interact with their target group as part of the Human Resource Management Congress. Previous winners include Tandemploy, Humanoo and everskill.
The initiators of the HR Start-up Award include the Federal Association of Human Resource Managers (BPM), the hkp/// group, Human Resource Manager Magazine and Quadriga University. The aim is to bring the innovations of Start-ups into the HR community, to learn from each other, to shape the future of work together – and, as a result, ensure economic sustainability in disruptive times.
As in other areas, start-ups also play a very significant role in promoting new HR practices. Whether it’s through innovative apps and IT solutions that bring the HR department closer to the customer or specific expertise in the areas of compensation and benefits, feedback, recruitment and talent management.
