FlexSA Awards Open For Entry
The Flexible Space Association Awards have opened for entries. They recognise, share and celebrate best practice in the flexible workspace industry.
These Annual Awards are free to enter for all Flexible Space Association Members.
It’s hoped that ALL member companies will enter at least one category, with all of them open to both Workspace Operators and Service Providers. Joint entries are welcome.
You can enter the awards here. The categories are:
- Service Innovation, sponsored by Churchill Group – Recognising new or expanded services that benefit flexible workspace customers, or clients of businesses providing services to the flexible workspace sector.
- Technology Innovation, sponsored by Clockwise – Recognising excellence in delivering new technology-driven projects that are innovative, have been smoothly implemented and deliver clear benefits to customers or to the running of workspace.
- Excellence in Customer Service, sponsored by Glide and technologywithin – This award will recognise individuals or teams working at a flexible workspace location, or in a company which supports the flexible workspace industry. 5 awards will be presented covering different geographic areas.
- Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Initiative, sponsored by Verlingue – This is a new category, which will recognises projects or initiatives which have delivered positive environmental or societal/community benefits, or highlight exemplary changes to governance processes. There’s a good explanation of ESG here.
- Workspace Design – Recognising the best in design of new or refurbished flexible workspace.
To qualify, the activities will need to have taken place since 1st October 2022.
There will once again be an Industry Achievement Award, recognising outstanding service to the flexible workspace industry. Whilst we are not opening a formal nomination process for this, we welcome suggestions.
The deadline for entries is 6pm on Thursday 26th October 2023.
Further details for each award can be found on the entry website.
We have a strong panel of judges to review the award entries and reach decisions on the finalists and winners.
