Wellness Week 2024

The Marlborough Wine Industry Wellness Week aims to strengthen a culture of wellness and wellbeing in the industry.

As we wrap up the 2024 grape harvest and move into the next growing season, we are asking our industry to share their wellbeing strategies from harvest and throughout the year.

Explore the key details below.

What is the Marlborough Wine Industry Wellbeing week?

It’s a fun and supportive week where we encourage the industry to share their wellbeing strategies on Instagram in a friendly competition from 27 – 31 May 2024.

A panel of independent judges will select the best initiative and the company will be recognised on Friday 31 May 2024.

What is a wellbeing initiative?

Wellbeing means we have the tools, support and environments we need to be who we are and to build and sustain lives worth living.

Some examples of wellbeing initiatives from the industry include breakout/ quiet spaces, sustainable working strategies during and following the harvest season, and connection or health initiatives such as speakers, workshops or team activities. You can check out the winning 2023 initiatives here.

  2.  During the week of 27 – 31 May, post an image or reel as an Instagram POST (not a story) showcasing a wellbeing initiative for your business.

Entry Form

Workplace Wellbeing relates to all aspects of working life, from the quality and safety of the physical environment, to how workers feel about their work.

The Workplace Wellbeing Most Impactful Initiative Award is designed to showcase an initiative(s) that has had a positive impact on your people's wellbeing and supports a culture of wellness in your organisation.

The wellbeing strategy may not be a new activity for your company, but we’d like to showcase initiatives that have taken place within the last 12 Months.

  • Initiatives should have taken place or started within the last 12 Months.

    A single initiative or multiple related initiatives can form part of your entry. However, the focus is on the impact the initiative has on the people in your organisation, not the highest number of wellbeing initiatives or the largest wellbeing spend.

    Businesses or teams/business units can submit an entry. Multiple entries per organisation are allowed.

    Any organisation that is part of the Marlborough wine industry can take part, you do not need to be a levy paying member of the Marlborough Winegrowers Association.

    All entries must be accompanied by a completed entry form submitted by 5pm on Friday, 24 May.

    During the week of 27-31 May, share your initiative on Instagram as a POST (not a story), tag @marlboroughwinenz, and include the following hashtags: #WineWellnessWeek2024 #MarlboroughWine

    The Instagram POST must be published before 12 pm, 31 May 2024 to be entered. No Wellness Week posts shared on Instagram after this time will be considered in judgment.

    We expect participants to contribute to the spirit of the Marlborough Wine Industry Wellness Week, which is to support a culture of wellness and wellbeing across with Marlborough wine industry. Social media posts or commentary that does not align with the values of Wellness Week will not be shared and there is zero tolerance to trolling and abusive language.

    The judging criteria will focus on the following areas: Impact on people, Consideration and effort invested into the initiative, Ongoing impact and ripple effect, Measuring impact and integrating learnings
