In the past they have celebrated the achievements of individual females in the industry, but this year the awards will also honour the achievements of companies.
“Now more than ever before we need to find reasons to stay positive, reminding ourselves of all the good things we have achieved as an industry, as companies and as individuals,†said Alessandra Alonso, joint director of Shine People and Places, which is organising the awards.
“The Shine Awards provide the perfect channel to showcase your success and motivate and inspire your colleagues and clients.â€

The new company categories are:
– Company of the Year for Attracting Diversity of Talent
– Company of the Year for Talent Development
– Company of the Year for Leadership in Coach-Mentoring
– Company of the Year for Flexible Working and Work-Life Balance
– Female-headed Team of the Year
