Submission highlights

  • Wellbeing

  • Inclusion & Belonging

  • Comment from the Judges

    Speedy Hire’s submission is extremely strong – they have demonstrated going above and beyond in almost every category, setting a benchmark for putting people first and using both quantitive and qualitative data to support it.

  • Comment from the Judges

    What I really liked about the submission: Market leading SWLB people initiative a genuine first in the construction industry which has delivered tangible results and also innovation in a traditionally inflexible industry with strong employee testimonials.

  • Comment from the Judges

    An exceptionally written submission with a clear and concise definition of their purpose across 6 key areas and how these are strategically supported through the values and behaviours. I liked the focus on demographic needs and motivations – not a one size-fits-all approach.

  • Comment from the Judges

    There seems to be a great connection between Speedy Hire’s purpose, culture and their leadership development. There’s also fantastic work being done to support their people and their wellbeing.
