Awards ceremony to reward wellbeing

Mental health and wellbeing in the workplace will be recognised for the first time at the 2019 CILEx National Awards.

CILEx, the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, has partnered with legal sector mental health charity LawCare to introduce the Mental Health and Wellbeing Initiative award category. It will recognise those organisations that demonstrate improved staff wellbeing, retention and performance and/or the embedding of mental health and wellbeing into organisational values and culture.

Elizabeth Rimmer, chief executive of LawCare, said: ‘Sharing best practice in mental health and wellbeing in the legal sector helps create more mentally healthy workplaces, making the legal profession a happier and healthier place to work.’

The awards, hosted by TV personality Claudia Winkleman, take place on 5 September at Madame Tussauds in London. The closing date for nominations is Friday 5 April 2019, and they can be submitted via the link above.
