EXCLUSIVE: First hybrid working category launches at Employee Benefits Awards 2023

Employee Benefits AwardsEXCLUSIVE: Employers which have offered effective benefits packages to support employees with hybrid working are, for the first time, in with a chance of winning an accolade at the Employee Benefits Awards 2023.

For this newly launched category, the judges will look for entries that present innovative communication and motivation channels, support in managing physical, mental, and financial wellbeing, flexible working arrangements to enable employees to adapt around non-work commitments while continuing to meet business needs, and that can show how a benefits package has evolved since moving to a hybrid working arrangement.

The judges will also value well thought through initiatives and objectives, innovation and quantifiable, measurable results that show how organisations identified the best hybrid working pattern for their workforce, how this pattern was structured, and the impact the arrangement had on engagement, take-up rates, recruitment and retention.

The 21st annual Employee Benefits Awards celebrates organisations, teams and individuals in the reward, benefits and HR community which have made a significant difference through their reward and benefits strategies over the past year. As well as the Best benefits to support hybrid working category, two other new awards have been introduced to reflect the changing world of reward: Best public sector benefits and Best benefits to support reproductive health.

This year’s awards comprise 23 categories, including pensions, mental health, motivational benefits and financial wellbeing. The final deadline for entries is Friday 10 February.

The winners for 2023 will be announced at the Employee Benefits Awards on Friday 23 June 2023 at the HAC London. This is must-attend event for any HR professional and will give entrants and industry professionals the opportunity to celebrate best practice and innovation, and network.
