Nominate Your Well-being Heroes: Submit Applications for the 2026 Well-being Hero Awards

As we continue to focus on the health and well-being of our workforce, we want to recognize those who are examples in our workplace during our third annual Well-being Hero Awards.  

If you, your department, a co-worker or another department recently completed an initiative or project that led to a positive impact on their personal well-being or the well-being of their colleagues, complete a nomination or application for the Well-being Hero awards by Wednesday, May 20!

A panel of judges will vote on deserving individuals, departments and units to receive the award based on the quality, creativity and impact of initiatives implemented on their unit. Winners will be notified in early June and invited to attend the Well-being Summit on June 12.

Well-being Hero Awards (Individual and Team) are peer selected awards for any individual, unit or department that champions the well-being of our employees above and beyond the call of duty.

• Examples could include organizing a wellness event for their department or facility, providing structured wellness-focused activities to encourage healthy choices, leading projects to improve operational efficiency or reduce administrative burdens, or creating new opportunities to foster appreciation, recognition, and community at work.

The Well-being Warrior Award recognizes individuals who have invested in their own personal well-being. Self-nominations are encouraged!

• Examples could include pursuing a weight loss journey, taking up a new wellness practice or hobby, or achieving a wellness-related goal.
