This award recognises workplaces that have implemented an exceptional strategy to strengthen mental wellbeing in the workplace. Entries should consider:

• How strategies are implemented from top to bottom.
• Successfully breaking stigma around mental wellbeing with executive buy-in, resulting in company-wide cultural change.
• Delivery of measurable improvement and success.

Entrants should demonstrate an inclusive, preventive and supportive approach to mental wellbeing. This could showcase how considerations around mental wellbeing are reflected in a strategic approach and wider policies and systems that flex to the needs of all employees, for example, recognising that good mental wellbeing cannot be taken for granted, by encouraging reasonable adjustments and flexible working.

This award recognises an organisation who has continued their commitment to mental wellbeing in the workplace and has built on their strategy year on year. Entrants should be able to demonstrate the growth and development of their wellbeing strategy over time and how their proven dedication has led to the mental wellbeing of their organisation always being an important cornerstone.

This award will be given to a workplace that has recently recognised explicitly the importance of addressing mental wellbeing, and within the past 18 months has taken the first steps to change the culture via a holistic and focused approach to maintaining and improving the mental wellbeing of all employees.

Due to the limited timeframe companies at this stage of their mental wellbeing journey have had to see the benefits of this work emerge. Judges will not focus solely on outcomes but will consider the impetus and process behind the initiative and the action plan to deliver it.
