Bronze

At Bronze level, we will ask you to put in place core ‘building blocks’ to help raise awareness of the importance of health and wellbeing at work. Through engagement with your staff, you’ll identify your most relevant issues, and begin to address them. You will be taking important steps towards a planned and integrated approach to improving the health and wellbeing of your workforce..
