Employers:

From financial security and mental health to physical care and social connection, your team is navigating one of the most complex — and human — areas of employee benefits. Let’s give credit where it’s due.

Employee benefits speak to a company's culture and are key to attracting and retaining talent, while effective cost management drives greater efficiencies and productivity. This year, NEEBC’s 2026 Best Practice Awards are celebrating those organizations whose wellbeing strategies are showing tangible results in improving the wellness of their people and organizations.

Nominate your team or colleague for a Best Practice or Rising Star Award.

Consultants, Brokers, Carriers, Partners:

The best strategies in employee wellbeing are evolving fast — moving from tactical, everyday wellness activities to holistic, strategic wellbeing that truly advances overall health. If you’ve seen a client or colleague go above and beyond in designing thoughtful, innovative solutions that balance physical, emotional, social, and financial needs, now’s the time to recognize them. Your guidance often enables employers and HR teams to successfully navigate these challenges.

Recognize and honor your clients' or prospects' efforts toward advancing well-being, as well as the rising stars who make it all possible.
