Leading with Kindness Award

Award Nomination Criteria

The Leading with Kindness Award was introduced in 2023 to acknowledge the huge role that kindness and compassion play in our everyday lives. The Award will recognise, acknowledge, and reward an organisation, team or individual that has demonstrated a kinder approach to people, through empathetic leadership, by showing real care and concern for colleagues or customers, and with a positive impact on business performance. Kindness is not the same as being nice. It is acting with intention, standing up for values in tough times, and addressing unacceptable behaviour when it is sometimes easier to look the other way. With their actions impacting others through their generosity of kindness, this award will celebrate the unsung heroes that go above and beyond what is required of them in their day-to-day working life.

Typical Nominees: Nominations will be for an individual, team or organisation that has gone above and beyond expectations by demonstrating genuine kindness and compassion towards others or empowering their people through commitment and service for others through their actions. Fostering a culture of kindness and willingness across the organisation to help their community, this award will take into consideration the positive culture and the practice of kindness for others in remarkable examples of kindness across Scotland’s many forward-thinking organisations.
