Workplace Wellbeing Award Accreditation

Coventry University’s Student Services team has received an award for their work to improve the health and well-being standards of their colleagues.

Established to ensure better physical and mental health for UK workers, the Workplace Wellbeing Charter and accompanying accreditation recognises the efforts of organisations who go above and beyond to improve working conditions for their staff.

The Charter focuses on eight standards: leadership, absence management, health and safety, mental health, smoking, physical activity, healthy eating and alcohol and substance misuse. The Charter also provides organisations with best-practice advice and guidance to promote better health and well-being in the workplace.

Before receiving the nationally recognised award, organisations must undergo an assessment period which examines and highlights areas which can be changed to help improve staff well-being. The process involves interviews with current staff as well as tours of an organisation’s facilities.
