The Great British Workplace Wellbeing Awards 2023

The Great British Workplace Wellbeing Awards 2023 were established to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of some of the most influential organisations, service providers, and individuals who have taken significant strides to address the current global wellbeing challenge.

 

The organisers highlighted Britain’s workplace wellbeing and satisfaction ambassadors. This was the second year of recognition. The team behind the Great British Entrepreneur Awards and Wellity Global founded the awards last year. They aimed to highlight workplace standards and inspire wellbeing leaders. The organisers recognised companies and individuals addressing the global wellbeing challenge. This event took place at The Connaught Rooms on March 29th, 2023.

Leading UK wellbeing experts and professionals served as judges. They evaluated businesses nationwide and learned about efforts to improve employee wellbeing. The inspiring event, drew over 300 attendees, recognised 16 winners across 16 award categories, with more than 130 individuals, teams and organisations shortlisted for consideration. Prior to the commencement of the awards, there were three standing ovations and cheers to recognise and celebrate everyone present in the room.

Nicola Dowdall, the Co-Founder of the awards, took the stage with her opening speech stating “Workplace wellbeing is about people – the individuals who make up your workforce. It’s about recognising hat every single person in this room is unique and has their own individual needs and challenges, and that offering the required support is essential.”

Nicola handed the stage to Simon Scott-Nelson and Sadie Restorick founders of Wellity global and co-founders of the awards. Our very own Sadie Restorick stated ‘People struggling with their health because of work suggests we need to consider the culture they’re surrounded by. Yes, it’s tough, but we can do this – we can change this culture! Tonight, we support you, we admire you, and we celebrate you!”

The awards were hosted by Wynne Evans, who took the stage with humour, entertainment, and a great personality. He was a true inspiration sharing his own mental health journey with Wellity’s Simon Scott-Nelson which showed vulnerability and empowered the whole room.

Here at Wellity we would like to say a huge congratulations to everyone shortlisted and of course the winners, who make a difference to working lives every day of the year, and for that we really do thank you. Thank you also to our co-founders and everyone involved at the Great British Workplace Wellbeing Series who are invested in making other people’s lives that little bit better every day.
