Absolutely 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 to be a double-medal winner at the global The Stevie® Awards 2024! 🏆 𝗛𝗥 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 GOLD STEVIE® WINNER 🥈 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 SILVER STEVIE® WINNER Many years ago, I judged and have also Chaired a judging panel at The Stevie's and was always amazed at the quality of the entrants and the large recognisable brands that took part. Each year there are around 200 global judges, making it one of the world's most thorough and long-standing business awards (25 years!). Never ever thought I'd ever win one, let alone two! Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the award ceremony in New York as its the Benefex forum in Dublin. I know lots of Benefex customers contributed to the nominations, so thank you so much for all of your support. Almost ten awards in the last 18 months is nuts! (I'll need to pop to Ikea for more shelves this weekend). I'm very lucky and grateful. Thank you (as always) to those who support and encourage me and my work.

I'm thrilled to share that I recently had the honor of participating in the HR Chat podcast! 🎙️ It was a fantastic experience where I had the chance to dive into topics I'm passionate about and share my perspective with a wider audience. A huge thank you to Bill Banham for inviting me. Let's keep the Wellness conversation going!
