Hosted and provided by Capita Travel and Events, the Smarter Working Wellbeing Awards recognise suppliers in the business travel sector who take significant steps to improve traveller wellbeing.

In creating the awards, we aim to not only help raise awareness of the importance of mental health and wellbeing among business travellers but to raise the bar in wellbeing offerings from all suppliers.

The ‘trip environment’ is critical to people’s health, happiness and productivity There is much that hotels, rail companies, airlines and other partners can do so that travellers can help themselves to look after their health and wellbeing whilst on the move.

The Smarter Working Wellbeing Awards is your opportunity to be recognised for the important initiatives and steps your organisation are taking in this area.
