Submission highlights

This year’s strongest elements as indicated by our independent judges.

  • Wellbeing

  • Inclusion & Belonging

  • Comment from the judges

    Rarely does a submission from a feel this genuinely transformational. The courage of Zenith’s leadership in publicly reaffirming its ED&I commitment when others were stepping back, and the authentic colleague response that followed, are real standouts. Overall, an impressive and purpose-driven entry setting a genuine sector benchmark.

  • Comment from the judges

    A compelling, colleague-led submission with strong evidence of action and impact. Zenith demonstrates genuine cultural embedding through agile working, inclusive leadership, data-led ED&I, and wellbeing initiatives shaped directly by lived experience. The entry stands out for transparency (census participation and representation shifts), practical interventions (in-house GP, menopause support), and a credible feedback-to-action loop.
