Helping the world create workplaces that people love!
The world of Employee Engagement just keeps getting bigger and better – What a great time we had at the 2018 North America Employee Engagement Conference and Awards in Chicago.
The conference and ceremony was filled with inspiring, talented and passionate people – I walked away with a smile on my face and a spring in my step, proud to be a part of such an important movement. Having 200 people under one roof, with one united goal, just shows how much of an impact we are having in helping the world to create workplaces that people love!
The Employee Engagement Alliance networking evening the night before the conference saw 50 people who had traveled from across the US and even India! There was food, drinks, fun and ping pong. Some of us definitely took it more seriously than others… Not pointing any fingers Mr and Mrs Dance…

“Every Year the standard gets higher”
The winners of the North American Employee Engagement Awards, in association with Maritz Motivation Solutions, were presented at the ‘sold-out’ North American Employee Engagement Conference in Chicago on the 7th June, 2018. The Employee Engagement Awards honour those organisations that put workforce engagement at the heart of their business strategy. This year’s winners demonstrate that Employee Engagement is now central to organisations in almost every field of endeavour. They span government, hospitality, healthcare, IT, pharmaceuticals, retail, service companies and transport.
Founder and CEO, Matt Manners, said: “Congratulations to all our winners. Every year the standard just gets higher. This year the judges were impressed by the very high level of proof for the outcomes of engagment programmes. It was great to see that one winner – the State of Michigan – was inspired to enter this year after attending last year’s conference.”
