London & NYC – July 15, 2021 – The 2021 Inspiring Workplaces Awards (formerly The Employee Engagement Awards), today announces its winners for EMEA and North America. The first time it has jointly announced two major regions in unison.

These are the organisations that the independent panel of judges believe put their people at the heart of their business. This year’s submissions have uncovered a new level of strategic thinking and excellence and the winners are at the pinnacle of that excellence.

Matt Manners, CEO & Founder of Inspiring Workplaces Group commented,

“Congratulations to all our winners across EMEA and North America. We will be sharing these stories throughout the rest of the year through the Inspiring Workplaces website. We hope they serve as both an inspiration and insightful to those seeking to continue deliver the people experience during the toughest circumstances.

This will be the last year for the current format of the awards. We will open for the 2022 IW Awards later in the summer with an exciting new way to judge and recognize inspiring workplaces all over the world. Watch this space.”
