Across the mobile industry, the creation of a company culture is essential, but it is far from easy. A culture is more than just a vision, it’s something the collective can unite behind and give purpose to their employment.
This award looked to recognise the company that created an engaging and inclusive, diverse culture that brought staff together, improved their experience and the company’s performance as a result.
