It’s that time again, the moment we’ve all been waiting for. The 2026 Great British Workplace Wellbeing Awards are officially open for nominations!
We’re calling on you, the innovators, the advocates, the changemakers, to step forward and shine a light on the incredible people and organisations transforming the way we think about wellbeing at work.
Why These Awards Matter
Launched in 2021 by Wellity Global and GRC World Forums, the Great British Workplace Wellbeing Awards were created with one mission in mind: to celebrate and recognise the exceptional contributions of individuals, teams and organisations who are redefining workplace wellbeing across the United Kingdom.
Since their inception, the awards have grown in scale, prestige and influence every single year, drawing an ever-expanding community of passionate champions who are driving meaningful change in workplaces of all shapes and sizes.
It is about shining a light on those who are transforming workplace culture and inspiring others to follow their lead. This is about changing the way we work in the UK for the better.
2026: A Landmark Year
This year marks the fifth edition of the awards and a milestone that reflects the unstoppable momentum behind the wellbeing movement.
We all know that workplace wellbeing is no longer a nice to have. It is a business imperative. It touches every aspect of working life, from employee engagement and productivity to retention and overall happiness. With so much at stake, it is time to celebrate those who are leading the way.
