WorkWell Leaders Awards – FAQs

24 January, 2025

In preparation for the WorkWell Leaders Awards 2025, WWL held an open Q&A Session for anyone to join and ask questions on the nomination forms, Awards criteria and judging process. 35 participants logged on to hear from the WWL team and pose their burning questions. We have compiled a series of FAQs and our responses in the presentation below.

More information on submissions, including the categories and nomination forms can be found on our Awards webpage. You can also purchase a table to attend the Awards & Gala dinner on 24 April at the same link. If your question is not answered below, feel free to approach us at hello@workwellleaders.org

  • The awards are not open to wellbeing and mental health practitioners unless the award submission specifically relates to work they do internally to support the mental health and wellbeing of their own organisation’s employees.
  • Only programmes or initiatives that have been fully or partially launched within the last 24 months up to 31 December, 2024, will be eligible.

How many submissions can be made for the same award category?

    Can I nominate myself for the Be Well award?

    Yes, you can nominate yourself and you can nominate others too.

    Can I include confidential information?

    If you wish to include confidential information in the form, kindly highlight it as “confidential” in your submission.

    What are the selection and judging criteria for each award?

    • There are five separate categories of Awards that organisations may enter.
    • There is also an overall winner for Wellbeing Organisation of the Year Award.
    • Each entry is assessed based on two questions in the nomination form. A maximum of 25 points can be awarded for each answer.
    • Judges will shortlist and select winners for the five categories and recommend three organisations for the Best Wellbeing Organisation award. This award will be decided by an independent panel, including the Judging Chair.
    • The criteria for each category are intended as guidelines to help judges assess the value and impact of each entry. While these considerations are not exhaustive, they should inform the judging process. Not every entry needs to meet all criteria.

    What documents or evidence need to be included in the submission?

    Submissions typically require a completed nomination form, a detailed description of the initiative or individual achievements, and supporting evidence such as reports, testimonials, or case studies.

    • Review all submissions against the set criteria and ensure you have followed the submission rules.
    • Send all eligible submissions to the judging panel for scoring.
    • Let you know if you have been shortlisted on or around 10/11 April 2025.
    • Announce the winners at the WWL Awards and Gala on 24 April 2025.
    • We will not inform you beforehand if you have won an award.

    Is the purchase of a table at the gala dinner a prerequisite for award entry?
