“The launch of this exciting new Stellar Standard is a fantastic way for Staff Networks to gain well deserved recognition for their ongoing and often tireless work in supporting employees.

More than that, this recognition of true excellence in the field is a great way for organisations to show how committed they are to achieving their aims of creating a truly inclusive culture, with dignity and respect for its employees at its heart.

Having been involved in Staff Networks since the very start of my career over 20 years ago, I’m delighted to support the new Stellar Standard as a way of acknowledging and celebrating the everyday excellence of Staff Networks.

I would encourage any organisation to show pride in their work by encouraging and supporting their submission to be recognised as a truly ‘Stellar Standard’ Staff Network.”
