Benefits of recognition for business culture

The Business Culture Awards gives forward-thinking organisations a way to celebrate work which sets their employees up to succeed; recognising how employee experience is fundamental to business performance. By strengthening your culture and sharing the outcomes you are:

• Creating a sustainable competitive advantage that is much harder to imitate than your products or services.
• Focusing on your employee engagement, one of your leading metrics of organisational performance.
• Applying an effective channel to promote, within and outside of your sector, how your company values its unique culture and its people, with promotional badges and assets provided by Business Culture Awards for your own marketing. Plus further promotional material generated by the Awards team, with your approval.
• Gaining access to the powerful Business Culture network and community, which comprises leading practitioners and thinkers in HR and business.
• Demonstrating value to your investors or stakeholders by aligning a stand-out customer brand to an exceptional employer brand.

"You can buy a man's time, you can buy a man's physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of skilled muscular motions per hour or day. But you cannot buy enthusiasm; you cannot buy initiative; you cannot buy loyalty; you cannot buy the devotion of hearts, minds and souls. You have to earn these things.Clarence Francis, Chairman General Foods

How to Enter

Your workplace culture will never be a fait accompli. It is constantly evolving, and it is particular to your organisation. Business Culture Award entries capture those steps taken on your ongoing culture journey. You need to have achieved a measurable impact, but it’s the end of the chapter, not of the book.

  • "The recognition from the Business Culture Awards means a lot to us here at ATG Entertainment. We’re a small L&D team with big ambitions, proud to have helped generations of talented people become authentic, purpose-driven leaders through our programme ‘Rising Stars’. After more than a decade of doing this, it’s gratifying to see the positive ripples impact across our organisation and beyond

    Group Head of Talent Development, ATG Entertainment

  • "We were thrilled to attend the 2025 Business Culture Awards for the first time and to be shortlisted in four categories alongside outstanding companies. Being Highly Commended for Best CSR/Corporate Sustainability Initiative is powerful recognition of our Fund for Change grant-giving scheme and its positive lasting impact on communities and the environment. We’re proud to be honoured in these prestigious awards—and more motivated than ever to keep improving

    Head of Brand & Impact, Beyondly

  • "To receive Highly Commended at this year's Business Culture Awards means a great deal to Todays Dental. When we started 3.5 years ago, we made a conscious decision to make culture a key focus across the organisation and embed it as part of our strategy. We pride ourselves on the way we've been able to differentiate ourselves in this way within the dental industry, so to have been recognised for this from outside the world of dentistry where we're in the company of many larger organisations is a real cause for celebration! Being the first dental group to achieve this is the cherry on top. A huge thank you to Business Culture Awards for this recognition and for putting on a brilliant event for us to celebrate our achievement alongside other amazing businesses

    Culture Director, Todays Dental

  • "I was reminded recently of the phrase ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast’, and it couldn’t feel more true today. Two years ago, we were hiring fast, stretched across time zones, and shifting into a fully remote world. What I’d always believed was simply ‘in the DNA’ of TruRating suddenly raised its amorphous head and demanded attention. We needed to formalise our culture. We wanted something that would help us hire better by attracting people who share our values. We wanted to engage better, so everyone, no matter their role or location, felt a true sense of belonging. And we wanted to stay aligned, so that even as we scaled, we’d still feel like one team pulling in the same direction. That’s why I’m so humbled and thrilled to share that TruRating has been recognised with this award. A huge and heartfelt thank you to all of TeamTru who live these values daily, and especially to the amazing Rachel Gowers, who collected the award on our behalf and continues to set the bar for what a values-driven organisation can be. Culture really is our operating system, and this recognition shows just how powerful it can be when people and purpose lead the way

    CEO & Founder, TruRating
