Introduction The Workplace Wellbeing Charter is an award which recognises the positive way you manage your business and support your workforce. It demonstrates that you are working to a set of locally and nationally agreed standards. The standards contained in the charter are not exhaustive and are intended to set a minimum standard on which your organisation can build. The Workplace Wellbeing Charter is a free and voluntary scheme open to all public, private and voluntary sector organisations of any size.

The Charter Involves: Self assessing against a set of nationally agreed standards Devising an action plan to drive future change Working with staff and other organisations to implement good practice Reducing sickness absence and improving staff wellbeing How will it benefit your organisation? Evidence shows that investing in health and wellbeing is cost effective for employers. Improved employee health and wellbeing has been shown to improve business performance, productivity and profitability. What are the benefits to your organisation? Financial reasons Encouraging staff to be healthy and active can reduce sickness absence by 20-30%. Sickness absence costs the Bristol economy between 120-240million per year. That s 10 million lost working hours. Stress and back pain are the major causes of sickness absence but much of this is preventable. Population changes The working age is increasing and there is a greater need to manage chronic illness and long term conditions at work. It s important to ensure that an ageing workforce is a healthy workforce. Reputation Successful organisations know that staff satisfaction and wellbeing bring business benefits. Being a good employer enhances an organisation s reputation, makes it attractive to work for, and improves overall performance. Happy, healthy staff are a good advertisement for any organisation. Legal compliance The Charter s standards help organisations to fulfill their legal obligations under health and safety and equalities legislation. Workplace Wellbeing Charter The Manual Page 2

Standards Explained There are three levels which your organisation can work towards. The charter recognises that smaller employers may find it hard to achieve the same level of activity as a larger employer: Level What it means Commitment Your organisation has addressed each area and provides employees with tools to help to improve their health and wellbeing. Achievement Excellence Having put the buildings blocks in place, steps are being taken to actively encourage employees to improve their lifestyles. Interventions are in place to address serious health issues. Not only is information easily accessible and well publicised, but the leadership of the organisation is fully engaged in wellbeing. Employees have a range of intervention programmes and support mechanisms available to them to prevent ill-health, stay in work or return to work as soon as possible. Healthy lifestyles are actively promoted. You must complete the minimum standards, which are Leadership, Attendance Management and Health and Safety at commitment level before moving on to the next level. You can choose to complete any of the remaining five standards alongside these three or as development for the organisation. Carry out a self-assessment to identify the current position in your organisation and discover where there are gaps. You then use this information to make an action plan, work out how you d like to meet those standards and what needs to happen in your organisation to make this happen. If you want to gain accreditation you will need to decide which level of award you want to achieve and must be able to show that you can fully meet the standards through the collection of evidence. The evidence can take a variety of forms: Written policies Staff surveys Photos Information leaflets Meeting minutes Emails Assessment Process The assessment process will involve a review of the evidence that your organisation has gathered, followed by an opportunity to discuss outstanding questions with members of staff within your organisation. This will all take place on the site of your organisation. For further information please view Guidance Notes for Employers. Support Support is available from the Workplace Wellbeing Coordinator within Bristol City Council throughout the whole process.
