Wednesday 15th May was the biggest and most successful UK Employee Experience Awards in Awards International history!
More than 300 finalists gathered at the Park Plaza Riverbank in London to compete for a series of coveted prizes and share best practice ideas with one another. Everyone in attendance gained a greater appreciation for how organisations enable their staff to be contented, productive and able to realise their potential.
Business professionals from a wide variety of sectors celebrated the advances made in employee experience in the last year, and the standard of entries was exceptionally high.

And thanks to the generosity of everyone in attendance, we smashed our EXA charity raffle record by raising £3600 for Barnardo’s.
Hosted by Clare McDonnell, who praised the finalists for increasing employee-centrism in business, the ceremony also featured a keynote speech from Ben Whitter (a.k.a Mr Employee Experience) and surprise musical entertainment from The Three Waiters.
