At Edays, we are immensely proud of the hard work and dedication our team has put in during what has been a challenging year. COVID-19 is still presenting significant problems to all business sectors, and our aim is to continue providing a solution that allows businesses and employees transparency over matters of absence and leave and to proactively use this data to help leaders make more informed decisions. We are all ambitious here at Edays and we look forward to continuing our growth into the new year.”

The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders aims to do just that. All of the inspiring leaders featured in our Top 50 this year have driven their business forward during a period of adversity, whether by expanding internationally, delivering real innovation, showcasing resilience, or making a difference in their communities. They all deserve their place and I look forward to seeing their continued success.”
