The Award recognizes employees who give back to their community.
The Bridge Awards are presented annually to employees who exemplify our principles and share a passion to make a positive impact on people, society, and our planet. They inspire us, embody our purpose, and show us what it means to "Be the Bridge."
We ask Cisco employees to nominate peers who make a big impact on the global community. 10 winners are selected.
