CecureUs presents
Secure and Inclusive Workplace Awards
CecureUs Inclusive Workplace Awards 2022-2023
CecureUs celebrates companies that inculcate a culture of diversity that stems from many sources including gender, race, age, nationality, sexual orientation, culture, education, and life experience.
Our belief is that building a welcoming and inclusive culture is imperative for people to do their best work and essential for the companies’ long term success.
We foster diversity & inclusion and amplify underrepresented voices to empower communities of different backgrounds.
CecureUs Employee Assistance Program Awards 2022-2023
In a conservative society, where mental health and counselling are still taboo, we believe that even taking that first step towards breaking the stigma should be recognized.
CecureUs EAP vertical strives to make this a reality in organizations across sectors. We believe that mental health awareness is a must for every organization, and Employee Assistance Programs are the way to achieve the same.
CecureUs EAP Awards 2022 is our first venture to identify, recognize, and appreciate organizations with progressive thought processes. We believe that employers should strive to build and normalize the concept, ‘It’s OK to Seek Help’ around mental health, counselling, and holistic employee welfare.
CecureUs PoSH Safe Workplace Awards 2022-2023
With increased awareness, many companies in India have been taking initiative to create a safe, diverse and inclusive workplace. As a token of acknowledging this effort, CecureUs is organizing this PoSH Awards ceremony. The results will be announced in March 2023.
The awards are split into four parts – Safe Workplace, Best Culture, Best Organisation for POSH and an Exemplary award.
It is an absolute honour for us to host this event in an effort to recognise and reward the leaders of the organizations who have excelled in this worthy cause of creating safe work culture for their employees.

We are a team of like-minded individuals striving to be the change we wish to see in corporates across the country.
We believe that POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment), D&I (Diversity and Inclusion), and EAP (Employee Assistance Program) are interlinked and integral to building strong, lasting foundations of a workplace; a workplace that exudes an atmosphere of safety, fearlessness, and security to all employees, true to its Latin name, Securus.
Our intent is to achieve 100 percent safe workspaces free from any form of sexual harassment and facilitate organizations which value as well as comprehend the importance of diversity and inclusion, shatter all stigma around mental health and transform workplaces into a pool of talented, happy, and satisfied employees.
Our EAP vertical was incorporated in 2020 with a 200 + clientele spanning across PAN INDIA. We work towards breaking the Taboo around Mental health & counselling. Our team consists of a dynamic group of subject experts who have more than 30 years in the field of mental health.

FAQs
Q1. Is there an application submission fee?
No, there is no fee to apply.
Q2. Will the information reported and submitted in the application be kept private and confidential (i.e., not shared with any members of the public)?
Yes, applications are kept confidential. However, for winners of the CecureUs Award, we do publish their application along with the positive feedback provided by the reviewers. One of Awards mission is to spotlight exemplary programs so that other employers may draw on them for inspiration for their own programs. Winners will be able to edit out any proprietary information from their application prior to posting it for public consumption.
Q3. When will winners be notified, and when will winners be announced?
The winners are notified in July of each year and public announcements are made in September.
Q4. Is there a common source available or recommendations provided to applicants regarding independent third-party evaluation assistance on preparing and documenting the economic value of their programs?
No, we have no specific recommendations for independent third-party evaluators – most often, applications are submitted by the organization itself (using internal resources). But there are occasions that universities, consulting firms, and vendors have assisted in the preparation of the application. All we ask is that those organizations be disclosed as contributing to the application.
Q5. As a former recipient of the CecureUs Award who is planning on re-applying, what are the rules for reusing content from the previous application on the current application, specifically regarding the description about the organization and the program?
If nothing substantial has changed, then you can reuse prior content. However, you may wish to highlight new developments in program design and implementation, if applicable; for example describing innovations and adaptations introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic. The key, as always, is sharing data demonstrating health improvement and relevant business results.
