In each region, The Inspiring Workplaces Awards asks the same case study questions consisting of six key elements. Elements it believes are fundamental to creating an Inspiring Workplace. They are:

• Purpose & Culture
• Leadership
• Wellbeing
• Experience
• Employee Voice
• Inclusion

Organisations entered a category defined by how many people are within the business.

Winners in each region were scored by an independent local expert judging panel. Which were subsequently announced at special in-person and online ceremonies earlier in the year. You can view the regions here.
