As the way we work continues to evolve organisations that prioritise their people and create exceptional business cultures are standing out more than ever. That's why we’re thrilled to continue our partnership with the Business Culture Awards 2024, which honour those companies that truly understand the impact of a thriving workplace culture on both performance and well-being.
This year’s finalists represent a diverse range of industries and organisations, each showcasing their commitment to fostering environments where people can flourish, collaborate and innovate. From initiatives that drive engagement to programmes that empower employees, these companies are setting the standard for what it means to build a workplace where everyone can thrive.
Tim Pointer, chair of judges and operating partner & portfolio chief people officer at Three Hills, says that this year there have been a remarkable efforts seen across the entries. “The way we connect, collaborate and deliver our work has rapidly evolved in recent years. It's fantastic to see such a breadth of organisations thinking innovatively and taking deliberate action to better engage and empower their employees. Across these case studies we see how a winning business culture delivers positive performance and results for all stakeholders."
The celebration of these forward-thinking organisations culminates in an awards ceremony, taking place on Wednesday, 13th November at the DeVere Grand Connaught Rooms in London. Join these organisations – and The People Space team –for an unforgettable evening of celebration, live music and networking with the people and organisations leading the way in workplace culture.
