WSB Awards 2023: Shortlists revealed!

The awards - which are now in their 11th year - aim to find and recognise the employers which have the best benefits teams and offerings to staff and have done the most to improve these over the past 12 months.

In addition, the awards look to reward the best pension and benefit providers - recognising those that have done the most to help employers and their staff over the past year.

This year's awards have been judged by 13 senior industry judges. The winners of the accolades will be announced at a gala dinner on 7 September at the Marriott Grosvenor Square in London.
