They serve customers in over 180 countries, maintain operations in over 40 countries, and employ approximately 19,200 people worldwide. And with a global network , wide ranging in specialties, they have a huge opportunity to leverage the collective domain knowledge of their workforce, which is why Wolters Kluwer has been running their Global Innovation Awards for the past ten years – a cross-company competition encouraging the development and implementation of innovative solutions from within. It’s not just a great employee engagement exercise - 75% of the suggested ideas are implemented and adopted across Wolters Kluwer. And the work shows, Wolters Kluwer regularly wins awards for its innovation performance.
