This month, we held our 9th annual Engagement Excellence Awards, where we welcomed more than 400 guests to an iconic London venue on the River Thames to dance, laugh and share ideas on how they’re making the world a better place to work.
From over 200 submissions received, the 2021 Engagement Excellence Award winners were selected in 15 categories by a fully independent judging panel made up of the most experienced HR, benefits and reward experts across a broad range of sectors.
