How we do this

Transcript – Healthy Working Wales overview

Across Wales, work-related stress, sickness absence, and long-term health issues affect thousands of people, costing businesses valuable time and resources.

But with the right support, these challenges can be managed, helping both employees and organisations flourish.

Healthy Working Wales is a national programme led by Public Health Wales.

We support employers across Wales to create healthier, happier, more productive workplaces, by focusing on three key areas:

Healthy lifestyles; including mental wellbeing, physical activity and nutrition.

Supporting employees with health needs; including managing chronic conditions and returning to work after sickness.
