The deadline for the Employee Benefits Awards 2025 has been extended until midnight on Friday 24 January 2025.
The Employee Benefits Awards, which is now in its 23rd year, celebrates organisations, teams and individuals in the reward, benefits and HR community. Those who have made a significant difference and attracted, motivated and rewarded employees through their reward and benefits strategies during 2024 will be recognised.
There are 21 categories available to enter this year, spanning a variety of employee benefits, including motivational benefits, financial wellbeing, reproductive health, diversity, equity and inclusion, and work-life balance. Other categories celebrate best practice in flexible benefits, benefits communication, and public sector benefits. There is no limit to the number of categories an employer can put themselves forward for.
The Grand Prix award recognises the standout entry among the winners and is presented to the employer that has most impressed judges with its overall achievements. There are also awards for indvidual achievement; the Benefits professional of the year award recognises an individual’s contribution to the industry, while the Rising Star prize is awarded to an HR, benefits or reward professional, with no more than five years of experience, who has had a considerable impact on their organisation’s HR and business strategies.
Entries are open to in-house HR, reward and benefits professionals, teams and departments from any organisation operating outside the employee benefits space. Organisations within the benefits market are also able to enter and gain recognition for their own HR strategies, via the Best supplier to work for category.
The winners will be announced at the Employee Benefits Awards on Friday 27 June 2025 at the HAC London. At the event, entrants and industry professionals will have the opportunity to network, celebrate best practice and innovation, and stay ahead with cutting-edge strategies by learning from the best.
