We’re proud to be part of this year’s IIRSM Risk Excellence Awards, joining as headline sponsor for the 2026 ceremony in London. As part of our sponsorship, we’re supporting the Leaders in Employee Safety & Wellbeing Award, a category that celebrates organisations making real progress in protecting and supporting their people. These are the businesses that see safety and wellbeing as more than policies, treating them as everyday priorities.
Supporting Organisations That Put People First
The organisations nominated for the Leaders in Employee Safety & Wellbeing Award take real, proactive steps to build inclusive, healthy workplaces. They embed safety into their culture. They create spaces where everyone, from frontline staff to senior leadership, feels responsible for keeping people safe and supported.
Our sponsorship of this award is part of our wider partnership with IIRSM, where we also serve as a Gold Partner. Over the years, we’ve seen how IIRSM brings professionals together to raise standards and share practical, real-world solutions. This year’s awards carry even more weight, as they mark IIRSM’s 50th anniversary, a major milestone for the risk and safety community.
The Leaders in Employee Safety & Wellbeing Award
The Leaders in Employee Safety & Wellbeing award is one we feel especially proud to support. It recognises organisations that take a proactive, people-first approach to safety, embedding health and wellbeing into everyday operations.
What sets this award apart is its focus on inclusive, measurable progress.
Judges are looking for organisations that:
- Prioritise both physical and mental health
- Have built a strategy that is equitable and integrated across the business
- Can show how leadership helped drive real adoption
- Back it all up with clear performance improvements
Whether you’ve rolled out mental health training, improved access to safety resources, or boosted incident reporting through better communication, this award is your chance to show what’s working, and why it matters.
Too often, strong safety and wellbeing work flies under the radar. This award helps change that. It shines a light on organisations, big and small, that are actively protecting people, strengthening cultures, and making risk everyone’s business.
Is Your Organisation Ready to Be Recognised?
If your team has taken clear, measurable steps to improve employee wellbeing, this is your moment to be seen. Entries are free and open to all, including non-members. You don’t need a big budget or a global presence, just a commitment to better safety and wellbeing outcomes.
