Leadership

Comment from the judges

One of the strongest aspects of this submission is the clear, measurable improvements across multiple engagement pillars, demonstrating that COS is not just making promises but delivering real results. The 28% decrease in attrition, faster hiring times, and increased engagement scores are all strong indicators of an evolving and improving workplace.
Comment from the judges

What really impressed me with your submission was that you included data to back up almost everything you shared. That tells me you are not only taking action but also measuring to see what is truly having an impact and what is not. The fact that you have had a 6% YoY increase in response rate for the Employee Engagement Survey—reaching 82%—is wonderful.
