Top 50 Inspiring Workplaces across North America announced

Top 50 Inspiring Workplaces across North America announced
  • Announced at the InspireWork Summit in NYC
  • Top 50 include: AAG, Brad’s Deals, Blue Shield of California, Guusto, PepsiCo Beverages, Rackspace, Union Pacific, and overall winner, Ocean State Job Lot.

NYC – June 23, 2022. Last night, The Inspiring Workplaces Group announced its first ever Top 50 Inspiring Workplaces list for North America.

Now in its eighth year, and reflecting an evolving workplace landscape, IW has revamped the awards program for 2022. Each organisation was asked to complete the same entry form consisting of six key elements- elements IW believe are fundamental to creating an Inspiring Workplace. They are:

  • Culture and Purpose
  • Leadership
  • Wellbeing
  • Inclusion & Diversity
  • Communication
  • Employee Experience

Organisations entered a category defined by how many people are within the organisation and the final Top 50 was decided by an independent expert judging panel.

Matt Manners, Founder, The Inspiring Workplaces Group commented, “Congratulations to The Top 50 Inspiring Workplaces. An historic moment. This year, like in EMEA, the competition for an Inspiring Workplaces Award is the strongest that we have ever seen. We think that this is brilliant news. Indicative of positive, meaningful change throughout the world of work. Organisations must create workplaces that not only inspire but provide reasons to first believe in and then to feel like they also belong.”
