    The Healthy Workplace Charter – Are You In?

    By agtsadmin | Uncategorized | 0 comment | 27 June, 2017 | 0

    Having a healthy and happy workforce will make your business more successful. The Healthy Workplace Charter can help you achieve this. 

    What is the Healthy Workplace Charter?

    The Healthy Workplace Charter is an accreditation scheme that helps businesses create healthier and happier workplaces. It sets out standards you must achieve to get one of the three levels of accreditation:

    • Excellence – the charter principles are embedded in your organisation
    • Achievement – you’re at an advanced stage in your approach to employee wellbeing
    • Commitment – a starting point to show you are taking steps towards improvement

    How Does It Work?

    Before you start the accreditation process you should review the charter standards. You can then make changes in your company regarding employee wellbeing before you apply for an accreditation.

    Once you decide to proceed, the steps include:

    1. Registering and getting a health lead from your borough who will work with you throughout the process
    2. Study the self-assessment form
    3. Gather information and prepare answers for the self-assessment form in collaboration with your appointed health lead
    4. Return the self-assessment form once both you and the health lead are happy
    5. Receive your accreditation

    Why You Should Consider Signing Up?

    • It makes your company more attractive to new recruits
    • It helps improve staff retention rates
    • It lowers sickness levels
    • It improves business productivity
    • It enhances the reputation of your business

    The Requirements for Joining

    The standards in the Healthy Workplace Charter are:

    • Corporate support for wellbeing
    • Attendance management
    • Health and safety requirements
    • Mental health and wellbeing
    • Tobacco and smoking
    • Physical activity
    • Healthy eating
    • Problematic use of alcohol and other substances

    One option you can pursue if you feel your organisation is lacking in any of the areas is to complete a course. Common examples include mental health awareness and health and safety online courses.

    Courses like health and safety online courses will benefit your business overall in several ways, but they will also help you get the Healthy Workplace Charter accreditation. Contact us to find out more about our affordable, informative courses.
