clock • 11 min read

Here it is… The full list of the individuals and organisations that have been nominated for the Women in Pensions Awards 2021.

 

Congratulations to all the individuals and organisations that were nominated.

The Women in Pensions Awards celebrate the achievements of women in a sector where they are still under-represented, and also individuals and firms who have supported and encouraged women to fulfil their potential in the workplace.

We will now be contacting those who have been nominated to ask you to complete a questionnaire, which is required to progress to the next round.

The deadline for questionnaires to be submitted is 3 June. We are also offering a week's entry extension to 10 June, however, please note that entries submitted after 3 June will incur a fee of £99.

An expert panel of judges will decide the winners in each category. Judges will take into account: achievements in the workplace/role; challenges faced; evidence of contributions to support and inspire women; and the overall quality of the submission.

To find out more information about the awards, criteria and categories, visit the Women in Pensions Awards website.
