It’s time to enter the
ECC 2021 Project of the Year Award
What is the Award about, and why should you enter?
ECC’s Purpose is to enable excellence in equality and reward practice.
We work with dozens of our members every year, supporting them in improving and developing their approaches across a range of HR activities including pay and grading, reward, equality, and performance management.
