In an official press release, Gavin Hayward, Chief HR Officer at Kindred, said: "We are absolutely delighted to receive these awards in recognition of our All Employee Share Plan which we are really proud of and which we've had so much positive feedback about from employees since we introduced it last year".

"The awards are a great validation for us of making the bold decision to move away from a traditional long-term incentive plan structure to a much shorter cycle which we feel provides a clearer line of sight for employees to our business strategy and gives them a genuine opportunity to share in the success of Kindred", Hayward concluded.
