Announcing 2018 Top Thought Leaders in Trust
Our 8th Annual Honors
CHESTER, N.J., Jan. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Trust Across America-Trust Around the World (TAA-TAW), global leaders in organizational trust honors its 2018 Top Thought Leaders in Trust. The awards program, now in its 8th year, celebrates professionals who are transforming the way organizations do business.
While a growing number of global "top" lists and awards are published every year, no others address organizational trust, perhaps because the word "trust" itself presents a definitional challenge. For almost 10 years TAA-TAW has been working with a team of cross-functional professionals to study, define and quantify organizational trust, integrity and trustworthiness.
According to Barbara Kimmel, CEO and Cofounder, "The publication of this year's honors comes shortly before the official commencement of our 10th year anniversary celebration. In collaboration with global members of our Trust Alliance, we will be creating several new programs and tools to help organizations build trust."
This year we recognize 91 global professionals from a broad functional base including integrity and trust, leadership, culture, compliance and ethics, reputation and risk management, governance, CSR, communications, employee engagement, sales and customer service. Approximately 27% of our 2018 honorees are women.
We are presenting our honorees in five categories:
2018 Lifetime Achievement Award Winners (8)
Lifetime Achievement Award Winners 2015-2017 (29)
Multi-year honorees (22)
CEOs of Public Companies (7)
Newcomers (25)
This year we are honoring eight professionals with a Lifetime Achievement Award. These deserving individuals have maintained Top Thought Leader status for five years. We congratulate all of our honorees whose work is shining a spotlight on the importance of trust and providing a roadmap for others to follow. They inspire organizations to look more closely at their higher societal purpose...to create greater value for, and trust from all of their stakeholders, and acknowledge that trust is a "hard currency" with "real" returns.
