  • Comment from the judges

    This was a strong submission that clearly communicates how PMI U.S. has worked to build alignment, connection, and cultural cohesion during a significant period of growth and transformation. The entry does a good job of linking purpose, leadership, and employee experience, and it is evident that the organization has been intentional about using communication, shared values, and development tools to help unify teams around a common mission. The measurable outcomes are encouraging, particularly around purpose alignment, pride, and employee advocacy, and they suggest that the broader people strategy is gaining traction.

  • Comment from the judges

    PMI U.S. tells a story of cultural integration following a complex acquisition, and the Measurable Outcomes section is the strongest in the entry with 93% purpose alignment sitting 11 points above benchmark. The external recognition from Great Place to Work and the Wall Street Journal adds independent validation.
