12th Global Healthy Workplace Awards and Summit

Brasília, Brazil, 6-7 November 2024

Brasília will play host to the 12th Global Healthy Workplace Summit. The annual event organised by the Global Centre for Healthy Workplaces (GCHW) will take place on 6-7 November in partnership with Servico Social da Industria (SESI).

It will be the second time Brazil has hosted the summit, having been previously held the prestigious event nine years ago in Florianopolis. The summit will receive presentations from employers around the world seeking the 2024 awards for best workplace health employers. Finalists will be announced shortly.

Mars international, headquartered in the US, won last year’s best multinational, Australia’s TLC Healthcare won the large organisation award and Brazil’s Copel Foundation took top prize for SMEs. Applicants submitting for 2024 is at an all-time high indicating the growing importance employers attach to caring for their employees.

The impact climate change has on working conditions will be centre stage in this year’s deliberations along with the pervasive effects of social media, government strategies in promoting good mental health, and how markets value employers who prioritise employee wellbeing. Full program will be available soon.

In an era where the well-being of the workforce takes centre stage, the GCHW proudly announces for the 12th year running, the Spring launch of the Global Healthy Workplace Awards. As applications open on April 9th, this initiative aligns with the global commitment to prioritising the health and safety of employees in workplaces worldwide.

Each year our Awards spotlight organizations that exhibit exceptional dedication to fostering safe and healthy work environments. The awards application deadline is set for June 7th, offering companies a comprehensive platform to showcase their innovative and impactful health and safety programmes.

Two finalists from each category – multinational corporations, large enterprises, and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – will be invited to present their exemplary workplace health and safety programmes at our prestigious summit scheduled for early November. This summit serves as a nexus for knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and charting the course for the future of workplace health and safety.

As we navigate the challenges of the contemporary workplace, the significance of prioritising health and safety in 2024 cannot be overstated. Organizations that prioritise the well-being of their workforce contribute not only to the resilience of their teams but also to the overall sustainability and success of their enterprises.

The GCHW invites organizations of all sizes and industries to participate in this global initiative. By sharing success stories and innovative approaches, we collectively contribute to the overarching goal of fostering a culture of safety and well-being in workplaces worldwide.
