Why do some services cost more if I am a larger organisation?
Healthy Workplaces aims to support the health and wellbeing of the working age population across Leicestershire, acknowledging the differing sizes, structures and needs of the varying workplaces and their employees. Research suggests that SMEs (small-medium enterprises) engage less in the health and wellbeing of employees due to limited financial resources to invest in workplace health programmes.
A differential pricing approach will optimistically provide equal access to the Healthy Workplaces programme and support the disparities between different sized workplaces in targeting and encouraging a greater uptake amongst those that are smaller with fewer employees, that may struggle to engage with health and wellbeing programmes for their staff.
We have already signed up to a Workplace Health & Wellbeing programme in the past, is this the same?
The Healthy Workplaces programme is a new programme for April 2023. In the past, Active Together lead the Wellbeing at Work programme that was part funded by Leicestershire County Council (Public Health) and available to organisations across Leicestershire, Leicester City and Rutland.
The Healthy Workplaces Leicestershire Programme has been developed to support the holistic health and wellbeing of the working age population across Leicestershire, and is now run by Leicestershire County Council (Public Health).
We have already completed a Workplace Health Needs Assessment before, do we have to do it again?
We recommend completing a Workplace Health Needs Assessment if it has been over 2 years since the last completion.
The Workplace Health Needs Assessment has been reviewed and updated with the newest data and research.
