I am proud that the organisation continues to commit itself to its staff so that we can all help create a society that actively values and supports people on their journey to positive mental health.”

And every year, the entries do get more and more competitive and the judging even tighter. Reaching the final shortlist is a testament to the amazing commitment these organisations are making to make work better for their people, and they truly deserve this recognition.”
