So much of success in life and business comes down to who thinks of you and why.

Building strong relationships is mission critical.

Creating an inclusive workplace demands intentional time and focus for all of us, and I’m honored to be recognized in this category with so many amazing humans! In case you need a reminder of how this impacts culture and actual business results, here are 3 great stats to share with your organizations! 1. A study by Deloitte found that organizations with inclusive cultures are 6 times more likely to be innovative and agile, and 8 times more likely to achieve better business outcomes. 2. According to a report by McKinsey, companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on executive teams are 21% more likely to outperform their industry peers in terms of profitability. 3. The Harvard Business Review reported that organizations with diverse and inclusive workplaces see higher employee engagement, increased employee retention, and improved productivity.

However, navigating the competitive landscape of award programs can be a daunting task, especially for organisations that are new to the process. To help you maximise your chances of success, this comprehensive checklist outlines the essential steps to prepare for awards season, ensuring that your organisation puts its best foot forward.
