Health & Wellbeing

Thrive at Work Workplace Wellbeing Awards Programme. Now is the time to re-energise your business and take care of your staff

Join the free, supported, workplace wellbeing programme where you’re recognised for improving the health and wellbeing of your employees.

Your employees are your most important and valuable asset. However, one in six people suffer with poor mental health at work and the problem is compounded further by uncertainty arising from Covid-19. Any associated costs for sickness absences, presenteeism and staff turnover can run into thousands of pounds for many struggling businesses. It pays to invest in employee wellbeing.

Thrive at Work offers a holistic approach to managing workplace wellbeing. It provides a practical framework with effective techniques that keep staff motivated and healthy. Managers are guided across five thematic topics that are known to be key influences on employee mental health and wellbeing:

Thrive at Work themes

Enablers of health - addressing organisational leadership, policies and procedures that can help effect change.
Mental health - develop identification, prevention and self-management mental wellbeing strategies, including training and support.
Musculoskeletal - addressing prevention, self-management and treatment strategies, and support, such as how posture and movement at work can impact on physical health. Lifestyles tackles general wellbeing issues such as smoking, alcohol, substance use, weight management and physical activity.
External risks - to health considers wider impacts on health, such as financial pressures, domestic abuse and caring responsibilities.

How it works

The Thrive at Work workplace commitment guides you through a structured framework of criteria. You also get access to a free online toolkit that gives you ‘How to’ guidance for implementing and improving employee health and wellbeing.

There are four levels that organisations can work towards - Foundation, Bronze, Silver and Gold.

The new foundation level has been developed as an easy 5 step approach, which gives a comprehensive understanding of the current position of the organisation and the mental and physical wellbeing of your workforce and any lasting results of COVID-19 pandemic.

Upon achieving this level, you will be recognised with a certificate and an accreditation logo allowing you to showcase the efforts that you have made, as an organisation, to improve the wellbeing of your staff.

Organisations that then progress to formal accreditation at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels will be invited to receive their award at a celebration event.

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.
