Who are the people within the organisation tasked with implementing Work Well?
The two managers (who are also the proprietors) and three nursery coordinators are responsible for implementing the Work Well initiative. How did you identify the priority actions for your healthy workplace programme? Areas that required attention/improvement were identified through discussions with the two nursery managers, three nursery coordinators and the Health Promoting Workplace Coordinator. The staff survey, conducted as part of the Work Well pilot initiative, also helped to identify and inform actions. What priority actions were identified? • Increase staff participation in and awareness of the benefits of physical activity. • Provide information on smoking and details on support for those who want to stop. • Increase staff awareness of the benefits of breastfeeding. • Improve general health and wellbeing. • Provide enhanced staff training and development. • Improve communication within the organisation.
