Bupa Workwell Award criteria The Engagement and Wellbeing category recognises businesses that demonstrate an integrated approach to measuring, improving and then publically reporting on their employees’ engagement and wellbeing. Our independent judges will be looking for evidence of a programme fully embedded throughout the organisation that can demonstrate positive results, and to this effect we recommend that the programme is more than one year old Large, medium and small businesses. All BITC members. Any non-member private sector business (including social enterprises) x voluntary or public sector organisations that are not BITC

The application form Section 1: Company and programme details. Section 2: What are you doing (20% of total score). Section 3: How are you doing it (20% of total score). Section 4: What have you achieved? (60% of total score). Additional Requirements - CEO sign off tick box plus a short quote but must be included for an application form to be accepted. See participant's workbook

What makes a good award entry Ability to demonstrate positive impact using qualitative and quantitative evidence. Impact on both society/environment and business. Measurable KPIs, identified target groups. Engagement with a variety of stakeholder, senior advocates. Emphasis will be put on evidence of longer-term impacts (at least over one year). Programmes under a year old may still apply, but it might make them less competitive against other entries. Please look at each category’s guideline doc for specific criteria.

Wherever possible use quantitative and qualitative evidence to back up, describe or explain the impacts that you are detailing in your application. Quantitative evidence – 89% of employees are more motivated to work for the company as a result of this programme. Qualitative evidence – X employee “I am more committed to the company because of the x programme and my involvement in it.” Images and Info-graphics – used to support the narrative not replace it. Quantifying your evidence See participant's workbook

More on …Inputs, Outputs and Impacts Business in the Community Inputs = what’s contributed what the business puts into the programme/initiative, e.g. cash; employee time; gifts and in-kind support; management costs. Outputs = what happens what the inputs resulted in e.g. numbers helped, activities held, awareness amongst customers, additional funding etc Impacts = what changes how has this made a difference to society (e.g. increase in pupils reading level) and to business (e.g. improved business performance); i.e. what the inputs & outputs have achieved.
