The 2018 Employee Engagement Awards opens for entries across UK & Europe

• Open to companies of all sizes, public, private sector and not for profit
• Judged by leading industry figures
• Awards Ceremony at Twickenham Stadium on January 24, 2019
• The only global awards scheme dedicated to recognising excellence in the employee experience

London - June 21, 2018 - The 2018 UK & European Employee Engagement Awards, (https://uk.ee-awards.com), today opens for entries. The deadline for receiving entries is October 5, 2018.

Winners are forward-thinking organisations that strive to do things differently and put their workforce at the heart of their operations. Previous winners and finalists, such as BMW, Cancer Research UK, Cisco, Diageo, Lidl, Marriott, Tesco Bank, Virgin Trains and Visa, have shown that best practice employee engagement improves productivity, profitability and innovation - and the health and wellbeing of employees.

Leading the way globally
Matt Manners, Founder & CEO, The EE Awards, said: “A recent report by the Worldcom Group shows that major battle for talent is underway in Europe and the UK. In fact, the number of UK leaders who will give employees most attention out of all audiences, has increased 108% since 2017.

“The Awards is a brilliant way to get ahead in the battle for talent. Previous winners have demonstrated they invest in people in a way that gives them powerful reason to join and to stay. I hope that every organisation - large and small - that is passionate about their people will enter. It will motivate others to follow their lead and make the workplace healthier, happier and more productive.”
