More workplaces than ever are recognising the importance of well-being, with employees choosing to adopt practices that increase staff health and happiness. 

Beyond legislative requirements, from the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, an understanding of the productivity and morale benefits has increased ten-fold.

Health has different interpretations for us all. For some, what springs to mind first is physical health, perhaps the more traditional sense of the word. But more recently, advocation for mental health and well-being has been a key focus for many businesses, and a topic spoken about widely in the media and beyond.

As an employer, it's important to create and maintain a workplace that encourages positive physical and mental health habits. A work environment that promotes health is essential within business, and will likely result in happier employees, lower absence rates, and better all-round well-being.
To help with both of these, we’ve put together five easy tips to help you make positive, and effective, changes.
