"By highlighting industry best practices, honouring pioneers in the field, and establishing standards for workplace wellbeing, the GBWWA’s are now a platform for organisations to share emerging themes across all of the sectors. The focus on wellbeing culture has shifted from being optional to becoming a significant strategic concern and these prestigious awards acknowledge and honour organisations that prioritise workplace wellbeing as a central aspect of their operations. This year we have had a record number of entries, and we extend our huge congratulations to all the finalists."
Nicola Dowdall, one of The Great British Workplace Wellbeing Awards founders, said:
“All shortlisted nominees deserve huge congratulations for outstanding achievements and endeavours shown in their respective fields.
“Each champion has demonstrated sustained dedication to moving the dial on wellbeing, support, and positive change for people and culture to ensure that health and wellbeing are prioritised in our lives, whether at home or in the office.”
