What a pleasure to read this entry. Douglas Pharmaceuticals presents one of the most cohesive and well-evidenced people strategies in this year’s submissions. The “Culture of Success” framework is not simply a set of aspirations, it’s clearly lived across every dimension of the employee experience, anchored by a purpose (“improve lives”) that genuinely connects people to their work and to patient outcomes.

Well done on your inspiring workplaces award submission! You provided a clear alignment of culture with organisational goals. The submission effectively demonstrates how Douglas’ culture strategy, including wellbeing, leadership development, and inclusion, directly contributes to business performance and employee satisfaction.

Leadership is strong which is great to see. Measurable outcomes are detailed and look good. A good submission that shows a company focusing on their employees.
