50 prominent regional figures to receive the “Award of Happiness 2023”
For the first time, RRHH Digital and Awards of Happiness, in association with INCAE Business School, will be presenting awards to those managers who, with their exemplary leadership, have motivated their work teams to have excellent performance, contributing to a culture of well-being in Central America and the Caribbean.
On Thursday, January 26 a special ceremony will take place at INCAE’s Walter Kissling campus. This ceremony will consist of a dinner and lectures by INCAE professors. This will serve to honor those who have made a significant contribution through their leadership and the social impact they have generated in the companies they lead.
This initiative seeks to highlight the success and influence of those people who lead organizations that truly care about the needs of their employees.
“We are very excited to be able to carry out this event thanks to the union of Awards of Happiness, RRHH Digital and INCAE. The idea is to honor those business leaders who support corporate responsibility to improve the quality of life of employees, the community and the environment, causing a positive impact both inside and outside of organizations.” Said Lesslie de Davidovich, COO of Awards of Happiness and RRHH Digital.
