The Stevie Awards for Great Employers recognize the world’s best employers and the human resources professionals, teams, achievements and HR-related products and suppliers who help to create and drive great places to work. More than 700 nominations from organizations of all sizes were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of HR-related categories. Stevie Award winners are determined by a unique blending of the votes of employees and the general public, and the scores of industry experts. The Employer of the Year category recognizes the world's best employers since the beginning of 2019.

“We are thrilled to be named top employer of the year by the Stevie Awards,” said Jonah Paransky, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Wolters Kluwer’s ELM Solutions. “Wolters Kluwer is dedicated to providing a workplace where employees continuously learn and grow, and give back to their local communities.

Stevie Award judges praised the company for “really looking after career development and progression and encouraging the team to take control of their own destiny.” Judges were impressed with “very good initiatives, and well-designed programs that have an impact on employee engagement results.” Employee programs include:

• Annual surveys that give employees the opportunity to share feedback with leaders related to their engagement and the employee experience.
• Partnerships with local non-profit organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Rise Against Hunger, Star of Hope and Sevalaya, giving employees the opportunity to volunteer in the community.
• Monthly town hall meetings that rotate between all employees, site-based, and functional area discussions, ensuring that employees are constantly updated on company-wide matters, concerns related to their particular office, and department-level news.

“In the fifth edition of the Stevie Awards for Great Employers, the judges were impressed by the Stevie winners who - during the crises we’ve confronted this year - continue to dedicate each day to making the lives of their employees and teams better through training, software, work-from-home plans, and more.
