Employee Excellence Awards
Line Manager of the Year Award

About this category
This award recognises a line manager, supervisor or team leader whose support, fairness and development of their people stand out. Judges look for what the team says, how people have grown and the results the team delivers.

Additional criteria
Entries should include a short account of the contribution, supporting figures where they exist and, wherever possible, comments from colleagues, managers or customers. An employee can be put forward by anyone who has seen their work, or can enter themselves. Nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel, and customer or colleague names can be left out. Judges consider the size of the organisation and the nature of the role, so a cleaner, a driver or a care worker competes on equal terms with a head office professional.
