Be Recognised

Our story
Established in 2015, The Inspiring Workplaces Group’s (IWG) purpose is to transform the world by inspiring and supporting organisations that put their people first.
To date, IWG has primarily done that through The Inspiring Workplaces Awards – now the World’s #1 non-survey-based awards, Recognizing PeopleFirst Organizations. In the last decade we have recognized thousands of organisations and positively impacted millions of employees.
To encourage organizations all around the world to adopt a PeopleFirst approach, IWG is home to a free community of tens of thousands of professionals who believe what we believe. To help achieve our purpose, we work with our community of inspirers to create and share educational articles, videos, podcasts, online events and much more.
Our solutions
After 10 years of seeing leaders frustrated by not seeing the performance gains they expect from their people initiatives and investment, we want to provide solutions to the problems we repeatedly witness that stop success in its tracks.
The three major problems that do the most harm, are:
- Decision Gridlock
- Disconnected workforce
- Belief shortfall
