Work/Life Balance

You can safely say that no other organisation is more concerned with your health and well-being. That’s why the “Improving Working Lives” standard is the cornerstone of our work – our visible commitment to becoming a good, healthy employer.

The standard has raised the bar so high that it has been adopted by regulatory bodies to assess organisations. Essentially it sets out the benchmarks by which NHS organisations can create flexible working environments that promote staff welfare and development for all. It champions offering progressive employment practices such as:

• Flexible working (including options for flexible retirement)
• Valuing equality and diversity
• Access to childcare and carer support
• Tackling discrimination, harassment and bullying in the workplace
• Training and development
• Health in work
• Staff involvement and communication

Healthy living for everyone

The NHS Live Well agenda is dedicated to ensuring the well-being and health of our staff. There is advice and guidance to cover all aspects of our lives – from fitness and good food through to allergies, alcohol and snoring!
