Inspiring Change Awards 2022

Picture
​Now in its sixth year, the Inspiring Change Conference & Awards highlight and reward organisations within the construction and infrastructure sector that have created a more inclusive culture.  Creating open and inclusive workplace cultures in which everyone feels valued, and respects colleagues, is recognised as key to business success.  Increasingly, employees want to work in companies that recognise the importance of fairness, inclusion and respect and clients are focussing on diversity and inclusion within their procurement policies . 
 

Submissions to the 2022 Awards are asked to provide evidence that the organisation recognises the value of employee and/or community engagement and that they have introduced initiatives that have achieved benefits for both the business and the community.  Entries needed to show how initiatives are aligned to company goals, made a sustainable and positive impact on the workforce or community in which it operates and have delivered positive results such as:


  • Attracted new employees from a wider talent pool
  • Improved business performance
  • Helped address gender or racial inequality in the industry
  • Achieved higher retention and promotion levels
  • Removed barriers to inclusion, enabling all employees and potential employees to have the same opportunities
  • Increased employability rates in the community
  • Helped tackle issues in today’s society
  • Built collaborative relationships with stakeholders and suppliers

​Judges are looking for innovative interventions that are aligned to company strategy and will inspire other employers to follow their lead. The awards recognise businesses that improve the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large.
