It shows that business leaders clearly value the difference that putting people at the heart of their organisations can make.” The winners will be announced once again at the awards ceremony at Wembley Stadium on January 25, 2018. The EE Awards not only recognises great work but wants to inspire others to follow suit. It will host a one-day conference in London on March 1, 2018.
