Partnerships
Join a movement, not simply an event.
The Future of Leadership
This is not just an award show. It’s the moment kindness takes a seat at the head of the table: recognized as a competitive advantage and a defining trait of high-performing organizations.
A Community That Compounds
Judges, nominees, sponsors, and ~180 curated leaders become a year-round community, sharing research, experiments, and innovations across industries well beyond awards night.
A Standard With Rigor
The Workplace Kindness Assessment turns belief into benchmark: a measurable, repeatable framework that lives year-round, through assessments, research, and resources that extend far beyond one evening.
A Legacy, Not a Logo
People forget campaigns. They remember who drew the map. Only Founding Partners will hold the distinction of having charted the way, recognized in perpetuity as the pioneers of the Workplace Kindness Revolution.
The conversations that begin in this room won’t happen anywhere else.
The Conversations
Think Aspen. Think TED. Put curated leaders in a room with the right inspiration, and what springs forth outlasts the evening: collaborations, research, and partnerships that write the next chapter of leadership.
Judges & Nominees
Nine internationally recognized experts in workplace kindness, alongside nominee organizations from across the globe, each vetted through the rigorous Corporate Kindness Assessment.

Researchers redefining the ROI of kindness. Authors, speakers, and media shaping how work evolves. The voices your industry already listens to.
C-Suite Leaders
CEOs, CHROs, Chief People Officers, and Founders building the next generation of high-performing organizations, from North America, Europe, and beyond.
