"It's a great honour and I will share this with my players and the club," Conte told the Premier League's website (www.premierleague.com).
"It is the first time I work in another country with a different culture, and when you want to bring your own philosophy it is not easy, but now I am glad for this choice."
Hazard, who scored three goals and claimed an assist in October, has been key to Chelsea's revival this season and said adopting a more single-minded approach in front of goal had helped him rediscover his best form.
"People said I didn't shoot enough," he said.
"Now I try to shoot and score every game when I'm on the pitch. Before I was thinking about the last pass to make an assist, now I can do it myself."
Chelsea's upturn in form has helped them climb to second in the table, a point behind leaders Liverpool after 11 games.
They travel to face 15th-placed Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium on Sunday.
