2019 National HR Awards: Best Workplace Culture

It's one of the big questions talent has when considering your firm - what is the workplace culture like? It also strikes at the core of great HR practices. If you get culture right, so many good things happen - engagement soars, productivity climbs, turnover falls. And it's easier to attract the best candidates.

This is a brand new award for 2019.
