The EEO Trust Work & Life Awards are influential in increasing awareness of the business benefits of supporting diversity and helping employees meet their commitments at work and at home. The Awards have been showcasing leading employers for the past 15 years. 

There are five categories in the  EEO Trust Work & Life Awards 2013, with a Supreme Winner chosen from the winners of each category. The categories are:

• Tomorrow's Workforce Award, which recognises innovative responses to tomorrow's employment challenges.

• The Diversity Award,  for organisations that make the most of employee diversity.

• The Work & Life Award, which celebrates initiatives that create opportunities for greater engagement and productivity.

• The Skills Highway Award, which recognises workplaces which can show how they have helped improve their employees' reading, maths and communication skills.

• The Walk the Talk Award, which celebrates effective diversity leaders.

Organisations of any size or sector can enter, whether or not they are members of the EEO Trust. Entries for the EEO Trust Work & Life Awards 2013 close on 7 June 2013, and the  Awards gala dinner takes place in Auckland on August 29.
