Businesses today face increasing pressure to balance operational demands while supporting their employees, and maintaining a competitive edge. ย
While employee wellbeing often falls down the list of priorities, research shows that organisations which prioritise employee wellbeing experience a number of business benefits including:
- Fewer absences and greater productivity
- Improved employee satisfaction and morale
- Enhanced recruitment and retention
To help businesses improve mental heath and wellbeing across their teams, Surrey County Council has launched the Workforce Wellbeing programme. This is a free initiative aimed at Surrey businesses with 10 or more employees, and provides a clear path to improving workplace wellbeing and create healthier, more engaged workplaces (without increasing anyoneโs workload).
Empowering businesses with tailored support
The Workforce Wellbeing Programme is designed to tackle the daily hurdles businesses encounter, from tight deadlines to workplace stress. By offering customised support, practical tools, and evidence-based strategies, this programme empowers organisations to improve employee engagement and build a workplace culture based on trust and wellbeing.
A comprehensive framework for success
The programme is built around six key pillars, providing businesses with a clear roadmap to improve workplace wellbeing. Through this initiative, organisations can access a wealth of free resources that make a tangible difference, including:
- Customised Solutions: Tailored to meet each organisationโs unique needs.
- Self-Assessment Tools: Identify key areas for improvement.
- Engagement Materials: Inspire and involve employees in wellbeing initiatives.
- Expert-Led Training: Training sessions provided by Surrey County Council experts.
- Research-Backed Strategies: Practical strategies supported by evidence.
- Collaborative Network: Join a supportive community of businesses prioritising workforce health.
The programme is flexible and accessible and designed to integrate into organisations of all sizes, from ten employees to several hundred or more.
Invitation to Surrey businesses
Surrey County Council invites organisations with 10 or more employees to take part in this free support programme. Whether youโre beginning your wellbeing journey or seeking to build on existing initiatives, this programme provides the tools, expertise, and community needed to succeed.
