The Role of the Judging Panel: What Makes Them Important?

The role of the Great British Workplace Wellbeing Awards judging panel is critical in evaluating the best and brightest organisations in the UK that champion employee wellbeing. Each judge brings a unique perspective from various sectors, including HR, wellbeing, diversity, and inclusion. Their collective expertise ensures that the awards process is fair, transparent, and representative of the wide spectrum of workplace wellbeing practices.

The panel assesses organisations based on their initiatives, the effectiveness of their wellbeing programmes, and their overall impact on employee engagement, health, and culture. Their role is to spotlight organisations that not only prioritise wellbeing but also demonstrate measurable, sustainable success in fostering a supportive and healthy work environment.


What Judges Look for in a Winning Organisation

When it comes to selecting the winners, the GBWWA judges are looking for organisations that go above and beyond in supporting their employees. Here are some key factors that the panel considers when making their decisions:

Employee Engagement: How actively are employees involved in wellbeing initiatives? Does the organisation cultivate a culture of open dialogue about mental health and wellbeing?

Sustainability: Is the organisation’s wellbeing programme long-term and sustainable? Judges are keen to see organisations that have embedded wellbeing into the heart of their operations and culture.

Inclusivity: How inclusive are the wellbeing initiatives? Does the organisation provide tailored support that meets the diverse needs of its employees, considering factors like gender, race, and neurodiversity?

Innovation: Does the organisation approach workplace wellbeing with creativity and fresh ideas? The judges look for those that bring new, innovative solutions to challenges faced by employees.

Leadership Support: Is senior leadership actively involved in wellbeing efforts? The commitment of leadership plays a crucial role in demonstrating the importance of employee wellbeing at every level of the organisation.

The 2025 judging panel will consider all these aspects, recognising organisations that not only focus on physical health but also prioritise mental health, work-life balance, diversity, and inclusion in meaningful and impactful ways.


Looking Ahead

With such an incredible panel of experts, we are excited to see which organisations will stand out in 2025. The Great British Workplace Wellbeing Awards are more than just a recognition; it’s a celebration of the organisations that are leading the way in creating workplaces where employees feel supported, valued, and empowered.
