The Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award: Premier Recognition for Engaged Cultures
The Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award is our most prestigious recognition. Created in 2007, the award was designed to identify excellence and celebrate clients who incorporate employee engagement into the bedrock of how they do their work, motivate their teams and achieve business outcomes.
Winners of the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award put their people at the heart of their business strategy -- focusing on strengths and coaching talent to its full potential to get business results like never before -- while improving wellbeing across the globe.
Manager of the Year Award
Extraordinary managers are the foundation for an exceptional workplace. Organizations invited to apply for the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award are asked to nominate one manager who consistently affects the overall employee experience and achieves high performance levels, retention and team engagement.
Celebrating Culture Transformation, Strengths Development and More
Gallup has studied what it takes to be exceptional at work and in school to transform culture and put strengths first.
In 2020, we introduced three new award categories to further recognize the excellence achieved by our clients. They are awarded based on nominations by Gallup account teams. Contact your account team if you are interested in learning more about how to be nominated.
