Health and cosmetics chain Superdrug and mobile network Three have been shortlisted in the category Best benefits to support diversity, equity and inclusion at the Employee Benefits Awards 2024.
The award, which was new for last year, is sponsored by Zest. It was created to recognise the measures an employer has taken to support inclusion and diversity among its workforce. Judges looked for initiatives that address the different benefits and communication techniques required to ensure that all employees are supported and feel able to be themselves at work.
The full category shortlist is:
- BaxterStorey
- Central Co-op
- Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer
- Natwest Group
- PepsiCo UK
- Superdrug
- Three
Last year, Gi Group won the award due to its wide range of benefits offering that had a strong focus on diversity, equity and inclusion, which the judges felt showed real innovation. They added that its diversity, equity and inclusion focus was such that it incorporated it into every stage of its employee journey, from its onboarding process to exit interviews, and that it aligned with both its business strategy and reward proposition.
The 22nd annual Employee Benefits Awards is the event of the year for the reward, benefits and HR industry, providing the opportunity to recognise and celebrate excellence through reward and benefits strategies.
The daytime event, which will be held at the Honourable Artillery Company, London, on Friday 14 June, will include a drinks reception, three-course meal, entertainment and the chance to network with industry professionals. The after-party will feature live music, dodgems, a carousel and a big wheel in the venue’s private grounds.
