To be courageous, confident and bold.
Boldly Changing the Workplace & World
There is no more important work to be done than creating better workplaces, which in turn create a better world. Tharseō recognizes leaders who have not only the vision, ideas, business acumen and courage to transform how the workplace works, but who are on the forefront of creating and strengthening the vital connection between employees and company purpose.
Tharseō recognizes those who refuse to wait for workplaces to evolve. These are the radical change makers who are causing stunning progress to happen now. Their innovative ideas, bold vision and courageous leadership result in workplaces that improve the lives of working people, strengthen their ties to company mission, create better communities and as a result—a better world.

It has never been more critical to create workplaces where every individual has an exceptional experience. Culture—more than finance or technology—is now the key differentiator in business success. This award celebrates leaders who demonstrate the courage to pursue monumental, not incremental, changes that empower employers and employees to thrive together.
