Champions @ Work Award
The Champions @ Work Award recognizes leaders in sustainable cooperative progress in the workplace. The award was established as an outgrowth of the ground-breaking study conducted by Cornell University in 2000, Champions @ Work, which found clear evidence of world-class workplace practices and workforce quality in Western New York.
Since its inception in 2004, award recipients represent diverse industries in the Western New York economy that compete in the global economy with quality products and contribute to the local economy through quality jobs and community involvement.
