Topping off a fantastic month of award entries and wins, we were victorious at the Sussex Sports Awards! Following on from our Healthiest Workplace award win at the Sussex Business Awards, we were selected as winners for the Active & Healthy Workplace Initiative award (sponsored by Wave Leisure).

The other finalists included Nibbles of Worthing Ltd and Wellbeing at Work (Brighton & Hove City Council).

Friday night saw some of the best of the Brighton and Sussex business community turn up for a night of glitz and glamour at the Sussex Business Awards. A fantastic evening was had by all and it was a particularly triumphant night for the Propellernet team!

We were shortlisted for three award categories on the night: Healthiest Workplace, Best Employer and the Innovation in Business award. Despite some very stiff competition from some great Sussex businesses, we are pleased to have walked away with the award for the Healthiest Workplace (sponsored by the NHS West Sussex), as well as the Innovation in Business award (sponsored by the University of Brighton).

As regular readers to the blog have probably seen, we’re keen believers of a healthy body = a healthy mind and have put in place a ‘wellbeing team’ to drive forward continual improvements in this area. So it was fantastic to win an award for our wellbeing efforts and we’ve got plans to continue investing and improving employee wellbeing well into the future. Annelies’ blog post from a few weeks back gives a great overview of some of the things we’ve been doing to keep Propellernet active and healthy.
