In recent years, employee health and wellbeing has found itself at the forefront of many organisation's priorities - and for good reason. Recognising the profound impact of employee wellbeing on organisational performance, companies are increasingly investing in comprehensive wellness initiatives and supportive work environments. This focus on employee health and wellbeing not only fosters a culture of engagement and productivity, making for happier and healthier employees, but also serves as a magnet for top talent in a competitive market.
In its inaugural year, Great Place to Work's Best Workplaces™ for Health & Wellbeing recognition aims to acknowledge organisations that prioritise creating positive and supportive workplaces for all employees, encouraging them to bring their whole selves to work and to balance their work and personal lives. This award builds upon the global standard of the Best Workplaces methodology, with the basis for this recognition derived from the average of 10 wellbeing statements from Great Place to Work's renowned Trust Index© survey.
At Great Place to Work we were able to identify organisations who not only excel in terms of health and wellbeing practices but also understand how prioritising wellbeing is key to boosting employee performance.
