What is the Workplace Adviser Support?

The Workplace Adviser Support (WAS) gives employers in Wales a chance to have a one-to-one chat with a Healthy Working Wales adviser. These online sessions take place on Microsoft Teams and can last up to two hours.

You can book one-to-one support to help you improve health, safety and wellbeing in your workplace, with discussions based on your responses to the Employer Survey Tool.

Who can access this support?

You can access this support if:

• You are an employer, manager or wellbeing lead in Wales

How to book a session

Follow these steps to book a session:

1. Register or log in to the Healthy Working Wales website
2. Complete the ten-minute Employer Survey Tool
3. Fill in the contact form to request a Workplace Adviser session

Once we receive your request, an adviser will get in touch within five working days to arrange your first session.

What happens in the session?

Before the first session, your adviser will review the answers you gave in the Employer Survey Tool.
In your sessions, the adviser will:

• Talk with you about practical steps to support staff wellbeing
• Share ideas to improve health and wellbeing in your workplace
• Offer guidance based on your needs and priorities

Typically you will attend up to three sessions with your Adviser, with each session lasting up to two hours, depending on your needs.

After your session:
