Use our framework to self-assess your organisation. This allows you to efficiently collate evidence and benchmark yourself against the charter standards, formulating a picture of your wellbeing culture.
To understand your organisation, our consultants will review your client folder, provide action points and signpost whether additional evidence is required to substantiate a standard or reach a higher level.
We will complete a Wellbeing Culture Audit to understand your employees and provide guidance against recent Employee Engagement Surveys. Our consultants may also want to speak with employees.
Our consultants will review the findings and produce your Post Assessment Report. The report includes levels attained, detailed feedback on strengths and clear recommendations for improvement.
The Charter is segmented into eight topic areas which have been developed in line with best practice and the latest research. These topic areas range from leadership and absence management to physical activity and healthy eating.
The Leadership standard reviews how health and wellbeing is embedded into policies and procedures, communication methods, the role of line managers, training and organisational development.
Supporting unwell employees is fundamental to the success of any organisation. The standards provide a guide to ensure workplaces move toward a preventative and supportive approach.
Benchmarking against this standard helps ensure compliance with legislation and appropriate policies, considering risk assessments, training, reporting and governance structure.
Our standards help workplaces address Mental Health issues by reviewing current practices to reduce stigma, offer support, provide information and training, assess risk, and develop strategies.
The Charter standards are designed as a guide to help workplaces ensure a clear policy is in place, support is available, managers feel confident to deal with issues and information and regulations are communicated effectively.
We encourage workplaces to share information with staff, provide support and encouragement, build simple activity into the working day, signpost to local providers and consider active travel.
Sustainability is increasingly important to employees and is an important indicator of employee engagement, retention and wellbeing.
Creating a supportive and inclusive culture is crucial for any organisation, as it promotes a positive work environment where everyone feels valued, respected and included.
