The Investors in People Awards 2025 - Finalist Case Study

Nominated for The Award for Overseas Employer of the Year: Silver

Why did you enter the Investors in People 2025 Awards?

At KPMG in Cyprus, we don’t just invest in people, we believe in them! And this belief is the foundation of our culture. We entered the Investors in People Awards 2025 to celebrate the journey we have undertaken to create a workplace where people feel valued, empowered and heard. We didn’t initiate change because something was broken, we acted because we knew we could do more.

Our application is not about seeking validation. It’s about reinforcing our purpose, inspiring others, and learning from a global community that sets people first.

The Investors in People framework provided credible lens through which to measure, challenge and enhance our people strategy. Entering the Awards allowed us to benchmark our efforts against global standards, to demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement and honor the progress we made together as a whole.

It’s a moment to reflect, to share and to inspire.

What has it meant to you, your team, and your organisation to be shortlisted for an Investors in People 2025 Award?

Being shortlisted has been a moment of shared pride for our entire organization. It’s a powerful message showing that our people matter. For us, it’s a recognition that reaffirms we are leading in the right direction, with ethical behaviour, transparent communication and people-centric strategies at the heart of everything we do.

It reinforces that every positive step we take for our people is part of something bigger, meaningful and globally recognized. It validates the difficult decisions, the strategic investments, and the cultural shifts we’ve made to ensure our workplace thrives not just in performance, but in humanity.

Being shortlisted reminds us why we do what we do!

What would it mean to your organisation to win an Investors in People 2025 Award?

Winning this award would be a powerful milestone in our people journey! It would be not just as a recognition but rather an affirmation of the culture we have worked so intentionally to build. At KPMG in Cyprus, we believe that when people feel they truly belong, when their wellbeing is protected and when their contributions are seen and valued, they don’t just perform, they thrive.

This award would validate our decision to put people at the heart of our business strategy by making wellbeing a core pillar, embedding inclusive leadership at every level and building a recognition culture.

We don’t pursue awards for prestige. We pursue them because they reflect who we are, what we stand for and how deeply we care about our people.

Winning would be a tribute to every person who has contributed to our journey! It would inspire us to aim even higher and reaffirm our belief that when you invest in people you unlock the extraordinary.

How important is it for your organisation to be a part of the Investors in People community and engage in awards and events like this one?

Being part of the Investors in People community is both a privilege and a responsibility. We are honored being part of a forward-thinking network of organisations that have share the belief that people are not just a part of business, they are the business.

Through the IiP framework, we challenge ourselves to reflect honestly and strive to deliver a people strategy that truly makes a difference. Awards and events like this, offer the opportunity to connect with people that share similar challenges, ambitions, and commitments to excellence in leadership, development and wellbeing.

Engagement with this community keeps us current, reflective and ambitious. It challenges us to evolve, not just in response to trends but in anticipation of what our people will need tomorrow.

For us, being part of IiP is about continuous collaboration, improvement and purpose. We want to contribute to this global movement, share our insights, and learn from others on a shared mission to make work better for everyone.
