EO Stories 2022 launched as competition looks to shine a spotlight on the impact of ‘Good EO’ on our members
The EOA is marking 75 days to go until EO Day by launching its EO Stories 2022 competition and celebration.
In 2021, the EOA launched EO Stories to celebrate how being employee-owned had supported businesses during challenging times due to the pandemic.
We heard from employee-owned businesses of all sizes about how their focus on their people had supported employee health and wellbeing, helped the business adapt and delivered benefit for multiple stakeholders.
And this year, we want to shine a spotlight on the good news stories from our community that demonstrate the impact of good employee ownership, or ‘Good EO’, and ‘Better Business Together’.
The EOA is again asking members to submit their stories in one of four categories where they have excelled, with these stories being published on EO Day on June 24, after which voting will commence.
The four categories are:
- Delivering Good Governance – how your structures are bringing employee ownership to life
- Delivering Good Leadership – how leaders are supporting employees to feel like owners
- Delivering Good Engagement – how your engagement activity is delivering opportunities
- Outstanding EO Culture
The winners will be announced during our Celebration Dinner on October 3 at the EOA Annual Conference in Liverpool.
