These are the organisations that the independent panel of judges believe put their people at the heart of their business. This year’s submissions have uncovered a new level of strategic thinking and excellence and the winners are at the pinnacle of that excellence.
Matt Manners, CEO and founder of Inspiring Workplaces Group commented, “Congratulations to all our winners across EMEA and North America. We will be sharing these stories throughout the rest of the year through the Inspiring Workplaces website. We hope they serve as both an inspiration and insightful to those seeking to continue delivering the people experience during the toughest circumstances.
“This will be the last year for the current format of the awards. We will open for the 2022 IW Awards later in the summer with an exciting new way to judge and recognise inspiring workplaces all over the world. Watch this space.”
