What's made a difference?
This new Award is for work that's made a real difference in terms of the impact on people. This could be through improvements to a product, system, organisation or their workplace. If you know anyone who's work has made an impact, let's celebrate it!
Criteria
- The Award is for any individual or group who has demonstrated the value and impact of ergonomics and human factors.

This year's winner
The first winner of our Demonstrated Impact Award is PPWD Consulting! Led by co-founder, Paul Davison, PPWD has demonstrated the reach and impact of a project firmly focused on establishing, supporting and maintaining a Just and Fair Culture for all employees of a major UK company. The reductions in operational incidents and millions of pounds in savings is only a small part of the overall impact of a 10-year project.
