Regional campaigns

There are several regional public health campaigns led primarily by PHE West Midlands and the West Midlands Combined Authority. The main campaign currently is the Thrive at Work campaign to improve workplace wellbeing.

Thrive at Work

Thrive at Work is a free, structured, workplace wellbeing programme that is embedded into workplaces across the Midlands footprint and beyond.

Thrive at Work is a workplace commitment with criteria and guidelines on creating a workplace that promotes employee health and wellbeing, focusing on key organisational enablers of health such as attendance management, policies and procedures in addition to health areas such as mental, musculoskeletal and physical health and promoting healthy lifestyles.

It is designed to maximise the potential of your employees and drive results to your bottom line through reduced sickness absence, improved retention, increased resilience and more productivity by assisting you to create a healthier and happier workforce.

There are four levels to the programme at which an organisation can achieve accreditation. Each level covers a number of different themes, starting at the Foundation level and progressing on to Bronze, Silver and Gold levels. Organisations can set the level they want to achieve and work at their own pace to implement the criteria.

Once registered to the programme the Thrive at Work Commitment and supporting toolkit will be made accessible to organisations. They will be given a secure login area to the website to upload supporting evidence towards accreditation.

The Thrive at Work Commitment handbook guides you step by step through the process and when used in conjunction with our free extensive online toolkit it doesn’t just tell you what you need to do but also gives you the ‘how to’ by collating into one place relevant wellbeing resources.
