Now in their fourth year, the Financial Wellbeing Impact Awards return with more to celebrate, more to recognize, and more reasons to get involved. A brand-new venue, two new categories, and a growing global community — this is the boldest year yet.
Over the years, we've welcomed entries from incredible organizations, from tech innovators to retail giants, every submission is united by one shared belief: financial wellbeing is essential — for organizations and the people within them.
Whether you're championing financial health, driving measurable impact, or building a strategy that truly moves the needle, there's a category for you.
Read on to find out what each award celebrates and why you should be entering.
Entries close May 1, 2026, so don't wait.
Introducing financial wellbeing into an organization takes clear leadership, bold goals, and a solid plan. This category celebrates organizations that have done exactly that — launching a financial wellbeing program within the last 18 months and already making a real difference for their people.
Financial wellbeing isn't a set-up-and-leave benefit — and the organizations that have invested in it year after year deserve to be recognized. This category celebrates those who have built a long-standing commitment to their people's financial lives, honoring the data, campaigns, and program longevity that prove lasting impact.
Getting people engaged with their benefits or pension isn't always easy — but some organizations are doing it exceptionally well. This category recognizes those who have run a program or campaign focused on driving real uptake, whether through Pension Awareness Week, salary sacrifice schemes, or benefits-focused initiatives that got people to take action.
Financial wellbeing doesn't just benefit people — it benefits the entire organization. This category is for those whose programs have delivered measurable results beyond the individual, backed by clear data and outcomes that demonstrate a genuine impact on wider business goals.
Behind every great financial wellbeing program is a person driving it forward. This category celebrates the individuals who have championed financial wellbeing within their organization — leading with purpose, inspiring change, and making a lasting difference for the people around them.
Great financial wellbeing doesn't happen by accident — it starts with a plan. This category recognizes organizations that have built a thoughtful, well-structured strategy with clear objectives and a real commitment to their people's financial lives.
Some organizations are genuinely moving the needle on their people's financial health — and this category is here to celebrate them. If your program has delivered measurable improvements in how your people feel and function financially, this one's for you.
Financial wellbeing looks different around the world — and the best global programs know how to meet people where they are. This category celebrates organizations running initiatives on a global scale, with strong regional engagement and measurable impact across their workforce.
