HR-ON Nominated for an Award Among Major Global Players
HR-ON has been nominated for a ZeroDX award due to our approach to value-based management.
As part of a group of global companies, HR-ON has been nominated for the 2024 ZeroDX award. The renowned global network Thinkers50 presented this recognition in collaboration with the Chinese appliance manufacturer Haier.
The award is given to an organization or company that has successfully eliminated traditional hierarchies in favor of zero distance to customers, working with self-management, and enabling employees to share in the company’s financial success.

I am especially pleased that this recognition is something the employees can embrace, as it is largely an acknowledgment that we, as a team, have succeeded in creating a company and an inclusive workplace without hierarchies, says Ali E. Cevik.
HR-ON was nominated for the award by Corporate Rebels, an organization that brings together companies operating with modern, self-managed structures.

The Award Will Be Presented in China
And why is such an award presented in China? You might wonder how progressive companies in China are.
HR-ON’s work aligns with the values of the RenDanHeYi model, a leadership philosophy developed by Haier Group’s CEO, Zhang Ruimin. The award ceremony takes place in his hometown. With 80,000 employees, Haier operates without a traditional hierarchy and has increased growth from 8% to 30% by cutting 12,000 managerial positions.
For HR-ON CEO Ali E. Cevik, seeing such large companies succeed with self-management is inspiring.
I love to see it because I often hear comments like, ‘You’re a software company with programmers who can easily work from home, and programmers are the kind of people who work at night and eat pizza.’ There are many prejudices. That’s why I warmly welcome it when people outside our industry and some big players do it, says Ali E. Cevik.
The award will be presented in Qingdao, China, on Friday, September 20, 2024.
