The annual Global Healthy Workplace Award [1] (now in its fourth year) recognises workplace health and wellbeing practices and programmes in the global workplace, in three categories: SMEs, large enterprises or multinational enterprises. Applications are assessed by an international panel, and two finalists in each category are invited to present to an audience of world leaders (corporate, governmental, academic, media) at the Global Healthy Workplace Summit. Winners are given exposure to a global audience, which enables others to learn from and replicate their success [2].
