Some organisations have an annual awards programme to recognise the work of local businesses.

Awards generally recognise the outstanding skills, achievements and innovations of the most successful businesses in the area. They are an opportunity to share experiences but can also inspire the business community and future business leaders.

Awards provide a number of benefits to businesses. For example, applying for awards:

• is an opportunity to reflect on why the business is successful and how this can continue in the future;
• tells employees that you recognise and appreciate their efforts; and
• enables finalists and winners to benefit from increased interest in the business and free press coverage.
