The health, safety and wellbeing charity has open again open applications for its campaign on workplace wellbeing, Keep Thriving.

The sessions, delivered by experts from British Safety Council’s Being Well Together programme, help employers with up to 500 staff explore why wellbeing should matter to them, their people and their business, develop a strategy that works for them, and track and evaluate their progress.

As well as the free workshops, British Safety Council is offering all employers who attend the opportunity to apply for a cash award to fund activity they decide to do as a result. The charity wants to make up to £10,000 available to one or more organisations.

Every employer who attends the workshops will also get additional follow up and written materials from the Being Well Together programme.

On the re-opening of the charitable offer, Mike Robinson, Chief Executive of British Safety Council, said: “We have been delighted with the response so far by SMEs and micro-sized employers to our offer of free support to improve the wellbeing of their staff. That’s why we are re-launching to new applications and creating more places to attend one of our workshops this Spring.

“We understand the pressures on small businesses, not just following the Covid pandemic but also with the high cost of energy, and as a charity we want to do something to help.

“Employers tell us they have found it useful to meet other like-minded organisations to discuss the challenges, opportunities, and best ways of developing a wellbeing strategy. We know that improving wellbeing not only boosts organisational performance, it reduces the likelihood of accidents and ill-health among staff.”

Applications close on 1 March.
