London – January 25, 2019 – The winners of the 2018 UK & European Employee Engagement Awards,  were announced last night at the gala ceremony at Twickenham Stadium. With the blue riband Company of the Year award going to PKF Cooper Parry.

The Employee Engagement Awards honours those organisations that put workforce engagement at the heart of their business strategy. This year’s winners demonstrate how far-reaching Employee Engagement is today. They span manufacturing, banking, IT, pharmaceuticals, retail, the NHS, service companies, transport and the sporting world.

Founder and CEO Matt Manners said:  “Congratulations to all our winners. This year the entries really have proven the transformational value that focusing on the employee experience can deliver.

“One of our main themes of the evening was the importance of diversity to a business. Diversity of thought can provide organisations with a real competitive advantage if they truly embrace it. In a world that seems to get more divided by the day, workplaces that create a true sense of community will transform the employee experience and the bottom line

The winners were announced at a sold-out ceremony at the iconic Twickenham Stadium on January 24, 2019. Photos and interviews with winners can be found at www.ee-awards.com

Organisations that want to learn from the winners can do so at a one-day conference in London on April 16, 2019. Winners highly commended organisations and finalists from a wide range of businesses and sectors will be presenting their case studies. The conference will provide practical advice to help engagement professionals achieve better employee engagement results.
