Celebrating, Certifying
and Connecting the
World’s PeopleFirst Workplaces

We exist to help organizations around the world build, prove, and celebrate truly PeopleFirst cultures.

Why we exist

At Inspiring Workplaces, we believe the greatest force in business is people.

When people believe in what they do, feel like they belong to where they work and trust in the future, extraordinary things happen.

Our Mission
We exist to help PeopleFirst organizations:

Celebrate and recognize the way they inspire belief and belonging
Certify and improve the cultures that enables their people to thrive
Connect and learn with other leaders who are building inspiring workplaces of the future

Inspiring workplaces don’t just change business, they transform the world, one person and one future at a time.

Celebrate

We offer three storytelling based awards programs. One that focuses on the organisation and the other, the leaders within them. Our third core awards program is for the Work Tech companies that help drive change forward.

Get Started

Certify

The most inspiring organizations don’t just say they’re PeopleFirst. Their people feel it.

Certified PeopleFirst™ is the global workplace certification that helps you prove your PeopleFirst culture is real, thriving, and future-ready.

We measure what matters most:

Belief — In a purpose bigger than the job
Belonging — Creating workplaces where people feel seen, safe, valued and able to perform at their best
Future Confidence — Preparing people to thrive through change, especially around AI and the future of work
