A PLAYBOOK OF AWARD-WINNING WORKPLACE WELL-BEING TACTICS

This is not a white paper.

It is a playbook built from three years of mentl awards entries, winner submissions, finalist stories and judging evidence.

Its purpose is simple: to surface practical ways organisations can lean into well-being to create:

Community. Impact. Resilience.

That is the theme of the mentl awards 2026. It is also why this work feels more relevant than ever.

Across the GCC, pressure is rising: workload, burnout, loneliness, family strain, leadership fatigue, frontline risk and the need for support people can actually see, trust and use.

But when you step back, another picture appears.

Real progress is being built, across sectors, by people who are not waiting for perfect conditions to start.

This first annual edition of Moving the Needle brings that work together, featuring:

• Data-rich deep dives into nine industry leaders

• A wider tactics deck spanning multiple sectors, and;

• More than 60 real-world case studies and examples from the GCC region

The aim of this playbook is to show what moved the needle: what the pressure point was, what was built, how it was implemented, what changed, and what others can adapt.
