Workplace Leaders Top 50 Announced
The annual Workplace Leaders Top 50 list - a celebration of trailblazers, changemakers and unsung heroes within the workplace and FM industry - has been unveiled for 2025.
Among this year's esteemed list are people from organisations such as Google, Three Mobile, Sodexo, Electronic Arts, Pinterest, John Lewis, Sky and many others.
Organised by The Workplace Event and entering its third year, the Workplace Leaders Top 50 is an influential and celebratory list of inspiring leaders, innovators and pioneers of the workplace today. The list is nominated by fellow workplace and FM peers and judged by an advisory council.
The Class of 2025 will be recognised at a celebration at the prestigious Hurlingham Club in London on Wednesday 16th July where, alongside a busy agenda of thought-leadership talks, each member of the Top 50 will receive their award and recognition.
