Launched in 2021 by GRC World Forums and Wellity Global, the awards were founded with a clear mission: to shine a spotlight on those making a real, positive difference to the mental, physical, and emotional health of the British workforce.

At a time when supporting employee wellbeing has never been more vital, these prestigious awards honour the remarkable steps that employers, service providers, and passionate individuals are taking to protect, support, and enhance the health and happiness of employees up and down the country.

Workplace wellbeing impacts every aspect of working life - from engagement and productivity to retention and overall business success. We spend a significant part of our lives at work, so it’s essential that our workplaces nurture, rather than harm, our mental and physical health.

2026 marks the fifth edition of the Great British Workplace Wellbeing Awards - a milestone that reflects the growing momentum and collective commitment to tackling the wellbeing challenges facing today’s workforce.

Together, we’re recognising the trailblazers who are driving real change, inspiring others to put people first, and creating healthier, happier, and more resilient workplaces for all.
