Thrive at work Oxfordshire

This free support programme helps Oxfordshire-based workplaces passionate about creating happy, healthy, and inclusive environments where organisations and employees can thrive.   

Free support

Organisations that register will gain access to:   

• a structured framework covering four key areas of workplace wellbeing, leading to certification
• topic-based training webinars
• a staff survey to help you understand your workforce's wellbeing needs
• guidance notes, policy templates and other resources
• tailored advice and support from our expert team

Health MOT

We all know our health matters. But when life gets busy, health check-ups and small changes can easily slip down the list. Some people can find it difficult to access a GP or other support services.

That's where the new Health MOT service comes in – bringing support directly into workplaces and community settings.

It's a chance for people to better understand their health, take positive steps to improve their wellbeing, and connect with local support when they need it.

Quick and simple

• · Checks such as blood pressure and Body Mass Index (BMI)
• · Supportive conversations about smoking, alcohol, mental wellbeing and physical activity
• · Advice on a range of issues linked to health and wellbeing, including housing and finances
• · Help to find the right local services, resources and support
• · A follow-up workplace report highlighting key health and well-being findings (for workplaces with more than 10 employees)

Health MOTs are designed to reach people who may not otherwise access support. If you're a workplace or are happy to host an event for your local community, please let us know.

It all makes business sense

Investing in wellbeing benefits both your employees and your organisation. You could see:

• · better staff retention and job satisfaction
• · improved morale and loyalty
• · increased productivity
• · lower stress and absenteeism
• · reduced recruitment costs
• · more innovation
• a stronger reputation 

Whether it’s the Thrive at Work Oxfordshire programme or a Health MOT, there is strong evidence to support the business case for investing in workplace wellbeing and inclusive employment initiatives. As a result, workplaces can expect multiple benefits, both financial and cultural. For every £1 invested in evidence-based health and wellbeing programmes, organisations typically see a £4–£5 return.

• 82% - reduced sickness absence
• 33% - lower staff turnover
• 29% - fewer accidents
• 25% - better employee satisfaction

Eligibility

We're committed to giving all workplaces the opportunity and support to enhance their approaches to health, wellbeing, and inclusive employment practices.

Any Oxfordshire-based workplace with three or more employees is eligible to access the Thrive at Work Oxfordshire programme and individual employees as well as organisations can get in touch about the Health MOT.

Here to help

We know it can be hard to know where to start. Time, budget and uncertainty are common barriers. That's why we've designed both the Thrive at Work Oxfordshire programme and the Health MOT to be simple, supportive and flexible.

We'll guide you every step of the way.
