London - November 07, 2014 - The Employee Engagement Awards today announces its shortlist recognising companies putting workforce engagement at the heart of their strategy.

Multinationals including Lidl, EDF and Sony Music will join small and medium-sized firms to have their engagement efforts recognised in a ceremony hosted by George Lamb in January 2015. The full shortlist can be found below.

MD Matt Manners said: "I've been blown away by the response in our first year. The calibre of work we've seen has been world-class."

Jamie Lawrence, editor of HRZone.com, who were the event's exclusive media partner, said: "As a judge I found this extremely hard. The rigour applied to engagement efforts and the level of maturity were both incredible."
