Inspiring Workplaces Announces The 2024 Inspiring Leaders Award Winners

NYC & London, November 21, 2024 – Inspiring Workplaces Group, the organisation with a mission to change the world by improving the world of work, announced today the winners of its 2024 Inspiring Leaders awards. To complement the worldwide Top Inspiring Workplaces Awards that focus on the organisation, Inspiring Leaders recognises those individuals that continue to go above and beyond to positively impact the organisation and the people within it.

Inspiring Workplaces recognises that different levels within an organisation have unique challenges and conversely unique ways in which they can influence and inspire the people around them. These levels are represented in our two categories:

  • CEO
  • Senior Leadership.

Matt Manners, CEO and Founder, The Inspiring Workplaces Group, says “An organization can only be truly PeopleFirst when its leaders embody that commitment every day. Inspiring leaders are the driving force behind cultures that uplift, support, and empower everyone, creating workplaces where people feel valued and motivated. These awards celebrate those exceptional leaders who make a tangible, positive impact, setting a standard of empathy, integrity, and vision that resonates throughout their teams. You can see that by the testimonials their colleagues shared about them in the entry process. They are the catalysts for change, sparking innovation, engagement, a sense of belonging, and proving that leadership is about elevating others as much as oneself. Congratulations.”
