More and more organisations in Gloucestershire are recognising the importance of investing in a happy and healthy workforce. Is yours?

A new accreditation ‘Healthy Workplaces Gloucestershire’ has recently launched to recognise organisations that go the extra mile to support their employees’ health and wellbeing.

The award is FREE and open to all Gloucestershire organisations, large and small. Working towards the award is a progressive process and there are two awards available – a foundation level and an enhanced award.

You can contact the team at Healthy Workplaces Gloucestershire to find out more.

They can talk you through the process and support you and your employees to develop a healthy workplace. This includes support through HLS Gloucestershire’s healthy lifestyles coaches – including one-to-one and group programmes around stopping smoking, healthy weight, being more active and cutting down on alcohol.

• Better productivity
• Lower sickness absence
• Improved performance.
