Happy EO Day 🎉 but not only that, happy ‘Employee Ownership Awards’ submissions opening too 🏆 As it has been shown, I was pretty chuffed to be nominated for, and to win, the ‘Employer Owner of the Year' award at the eoa conference last year. Well, as we approach the 2024 conference, it is the opportunity for some other EO Champions to be nominated for entry into the next year of the awards. And, somebody has to win - and you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket. Silly, over used, but true. So why should you submit a nomination for yourself or for someone you work with? In short, it will be amazing and deserved for them, it will be a great accolade for your business, and both of those things are good for you. Hard to argue with that 👍👍👍 For me, winning this award meant recognition for my efforts at my business and in being vocal in the marketplace. That's what awards do though, right. What it really did for me was to give me the confidence to double down and lean in to it even more, to have the validation in my efforts to go further. And for my business, winning the award continues to demonstrate how we are a purposeful business that is people-powered - after we became employee owned 8 years ago (the first large law firm in the UK to do so) and B Corp Certified 2 years ago 🤜🤛 I've said ‘me’ a lot but I would not have won this award if it were not for the culture that my colleagues have created at Stephens Scown. One that empowered and encouraged and supported me. To those people I am very grateful 🙌 If this sounds like your business and your colleagues and you are employee owned then you should check out the awards. And on a personal note, I enjoy making these self-deprecating shorts of the award and myself. It's fun, they're funny, they're authentic in how they represent the passion and energy I have for EO, and they scratch an itch as my background education was in Film. And with this one, my daughter held the camera for a few shots, so I'm counting it as her first short film - she also handled and buried the award so she can have a second credit as prop-master. #EOday #EmployeeOwnership #EmployeeEngagement #Culture

They problem is that many members- unless they have the exact same accolade from the exact same source, have no idea what expertise you have as a result of the posted achievement. Consider including: 1. Why you pursued this accolade/certification/achievement. 2. What professional value the accolade offers an organization or industry? 3.

What’s an award worth these days? In the age of participation trophies and endless accolade inflation, it seems like everyone has a shiny statue to show off. But let’s be honest, do these awards truly represent excellence, or are they just another checkbox in the race for recognition? Don’t get me wrong, being acknowledged feels great, but when every other post is about yet another ‘industry award,’ it makes you wonder about the real value behind these honors. Are they driving genuine innovation and setting industry standards, or simply boosting egos and marketing campaigns? Maybe it’s time we shift our focus from collecting accolades to creating real impact. After all, true success isn’t measured by the number of trophies on your shelf, but by the difference you make and the legacy you leave behind. #IndustryThoughts #RealImpact #BeyondAwards

🏆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗥𝗨𝗗 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗹 '𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆' 🏆 This award, given by 'Deutsche Exzellenzprüfung' (German Excellence Examination) and DDW, is based on a neutral evaluation of 39 criteria across five main categories: Innovation, Certifications, Employer Performance, Social/Ecological Commitment, and Key Business Indicators.
