For the team here at Employee Benefit News, working on our brand new awards series has been an embarrassment of riches. When we first put out our call for nominations to celebrate leaders across the HR, benefits and tech worlds, we were excited to celebrate three deserving nominees.
But when we received a flood of thoughtful candidates who have moved through the last year and a half with empathy, thoughtfulness and a dedication to innovation, we knew we had to shine a brighter, wider spotlight on this awards class.
Below, you’ll find profiles on 13 business leaders who set out each day to serve. From delivering thoughtful benefits to employers large and small and helping companies support furloughed workers to giving a much-needed makeover to talent recruitment and helping employees build financial security, these stories demonstrate a cross-industry dedication to creating better workplaces. Here’s hoping we all follow their lead.
