SYSPRO Global CEO Awards 2024
At SYSPRO, we value outstanding work, and the SYSPRO CEO awards have been created to recognize and reward passion, commitment, and excellent performance throughout our business.
The 2024 Awards celebrate outstanding achievements in 15 categories. Employees are encouraged to submit nominations for deserving colleagues through a convenient online voting system. Every nomination automatically counts as a vote, and no final voting takes place.
The selection process for 2024 will take place at a global level with input from GSLT members.
Global Selection
The consolidated list of employees per category will be presented to the selection panel, and the final winner per category will be identified.
The 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 awards were successful. This year, we’re raising the bar even higher to honor those who have gone above and beyond their roles. Four new categories have been added, so share your stories of outstanding colleagues who have made a significant impact. From innovation to customer satisfaction, there’s a category to celebrate every achievement.
