Senior business leaders from across the nation gathered in anticipation to celebrate the winners of the North American Employee Engagement Awards 2015.
Winners and highly commended were selected by an exclusive panel of judges and announced, following a world class practical employee engagement conference held during the day, at the Tribeca Rooftop with breathtaking views of Manhattan on a summer evening.
The Employee Engagement Awards and Conference program was born out of the desire to recognize and celebrate the excellence of those forward-thinking business who are putting people first and making a real impact in employee engagement.
It also provided knowledge-share opportunities via the conference for anyone looking to bring employee engagement to their business, to hear best-practice from global practitioners, and forge relationships with like-minded peers who can share in the journey of becoming a people-centric company.
Matt Manners, founder, The Employee Engagement Awards, said: “Congratulations to our winners – they have rightly been recognized for excellence in improving employee engagement to drive wellbeing, better work environments and organizational success.”
Jamie Lawrence, editor of online HR publication HRZone.com, who co-produce the awards and conference, said: “Both the awards and conference have been all about acknowledging and celebrating some of the great work being done today in employee engagement, as well as inspiring others to take action in their own organizations. Our aim was to demonstrate the importance of employee engagement, and the role it plays in creating high-performing businesses, but also to highlight that a program of engagement can be rolled out by any company.”
