Introducing the 2025 Great British Workplace Wellbeing Awards Categories

We are thrilled to introduce the Great British Workplace Wellbeing Awards 2025, Co-founded by Wellity Global and GRC World Forums. These awards come together to recognise and celebrate the individuals, teams, and organisations leading the charge in promoting wellbeing across workplaces in the UK. With categories spanning every facet of wellbeing—from mental and physical health to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I)—these awards highlight those who are not only making a difference today but are setting the standard for future generations.

In a world where workplace wellbeing is increasingly recognised as essential to productivity, employee satisfaction, and business success, these awards are a timely recognition of those who are going above and beyond. This year’s categories cover a diverse range of initiatives and innovations designed to support wellbeing, inclusivity, and resilience across all sectors.

From celebrating companies with the Best DE&I Initiative, to recognising the Excellence in Male and Female Health Advocacy, and honouring the Most Flexible Workplaces, there’s something for every workplace wellbeing champion.

Whether it’s a ground-breaking Wellbeing App, an outstanding Employee Network & Resource Group (ERG), or an Inspiring Leader who has driven real change, each category reflects the importance of fostering an environment where employees feel supported, valued, and engaged.
