November 11, 2021: NYC & London – Today, The Inspiring Workplaces Group launches its revamped awards program and new global in-person conferences, The Inspire Work Summits.
Matt Manners, CEO of The Inspiring Workplaces Group commented, “To say the last two years have been challenging for workplaces is an overwhelming understatement. However, with change comes opportunity. Those that grab that opportunity move forward and gain a competitive advantage.
We have seen stigmas around mental health smashed, archaic behaviours such as presenteeism shown up for what they are and agility become essential for all not just start-ups. Our revamped awards and Inspire Work Summits have evolved with the world of work and we can’t wait to recognise these workplaces and feel the energy of hundreds of passionate like-minded professionals in a room again. All with the same purpose of changing the world through the world of work.”
An evolving awards program for an ever changing world of work
Originally founded as The Employee Engagement Awards and consisting of multiple categories recognising work across many disciplines, today that all changes. The new format splits the categories by organizational size:
- Small Business (0-49)
- Medium Business (50-499)
- Large Business (500-4,999)
- Enterprise (5,000+)
- Non-Profit
- Government/Public Sector
A single six-part entry form for all
All categories will answer the same six-part entry form to make the process quicker and easier than ever before. The six questions encompass areas that IW believe to be critical to creating an Inspiring Workplace. They are:
- Culture and purpose
- Leadership
- Wellbeing
- Inclusion
- Communication
- Employee experience
The entry form is transparent. Giving all entrants the reasons for the questions asked, what the judges will be looking for and the score allocated for each part of the form.
Furthermore, judging is undertaken by a fully independent panel of experts from all over the world.
Special recognition awards
Inspiring Workplaces recognises that no organisation will be world-class for all six topics and judges will assess entries with this in mind.
However, Inspiring Workplaces is launching special recognition awards for organisations that feel strong in one topic. The special recognition awards allow organisations to enter additional awards on their strongest criteria. Entrants can only submit for this recognition once completing the overall entry form. No additional work is required.
