About the competition
What's Britain's Best Boss all about?
Bosses who see the bigger picture and help their employees achieve a healthy work-life balance are the unsung heroes of the Great British workplace, and we believe they should be honoured. Working Families created this competition to give exceptional bosses the recognition they deserve.
Do you think your boss might be Britain’s Best? There’s only one way to find out: Nominate your boss today!
Why should I participate?
People love to gripe about bad bosses, but great bosses rarely get the recognition they deserve. Simply nominating your boss will let them know they've made a difference in your life. And if they're chosen as Britain's Best Boss, you'll both be invited for a celebratory lunch and awards ceremony at the top of the BT Tower! Show your boss your appreciation by nominating them as Britain's Best Boss today!
Who can be nominated?
Any boss, in any industry or sector, anywhere in the UK. We want to hear about bosses in all workplaces, from offices to building sites to hospitals and everywhere in between. No matter where you work, we want to hear why you think your boss is Britain's Best. Tell us about the positive impact your boss has had on your life: nominate them today!
