As part of Livewell Southwest, we provide three programmes to businesses and communities in Plymouth – Wellbeing at Work Awards, Wellbeing Champions, and Wellbeing Training. We also provide Free NHS Health Checks, networking opportunities, and information on the latest health and wellbeing campaigns.
Why improve health and wellbeing in your workplace?
According to the latest Labour Market Statistics, 75.5% of adults are in employment, meaning the average adult spends around a third of their waking hours in the workplace.
Recognising this, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) recommends that all workplaces actively promote and support the health and wellbeing of their employees.
Evidence shows that good work is beneficial for health, while poor working environments, characterised by low job control, lack of organisational fairness, and high effort-reward imbalance can contribute to poor physical and mental health.
