What Judges are Looking For

Judges are looking for an individual within the business who champions EO day-in day-out demonstrating their passion and commitment to EO in everything they do. 

Plus, detailed and robust relevant information and evidence to show what the individual has done to promote EO within their business and beyond.

“For me, this award isn’t an individual achievement; it reflects what employee ownership has enabled within Enhanced. When you work in a business where everyone has a voice and a stake, it changes the way you show up. You feel accountable in the best possible way. You care more deeply, challenge more thoughtfully, and celebrate more loudly.

"If this award represents anything, I hope it shows what’s possible when you trust your instincts, stay curious, and always put people at the heart of the conversation. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together, and even more excited about what comes next."
