Absence, health and wellbeing

Our health and wellbeing commitment to our staff

You are at the heart of the services we deliver, and we want you to know that we value the contributions you make every day.  We couldn't do what we do without you.  

We want to create a healthy working environment that helps you to perform well and to provide you with support that has a positive impact on your physical, mental and financial wellbeing.

We want to achieve a workplace where: 

• We support the health, safety and wellbeing of all employees 
• Everyone can find Support and Information when they need it, which is relevant to their role 
• Everyone knows how to improve and maintain their own health and wellbeing and to make healthy lifestyle choices
