Submission highlights

This year’s strongest elements as indicated by our independent judges.

  • Leadership

  • Wellbeing

  • Inclusion & Belonging

  • Comment from the judges

    This is an impressive example of how a large and complex organization can take people strategy seriously and embed it in a structured, meaningful way. The most striking strengths are Inclusion & Belonging, Wellbeing, Employee Voice, and Measurable Outcomes. The inclusion work is particularly notable: the strategy, targets, accountability structures, and support mechanisms show long-term commitment rather than isolated activity.

  • Comment from the judges

    The commitment to sustainable mobility, green traction power, and climate-friendly transport gives the wider people story real meaning and societal relevance. It strengthens the sense that employees are contributing to something important beyond the day-to-day job, which can be a powerful part of pride, purpose, and belonging.
