Jenny Cowell, Environmental Health Officer, Better Health at Work will speak about the North East Better Health at Work Award which is a free, flexible award open to all employers within the north east regardless of size or type of business. The award scheme is co-ordinated by the TUC in Newcastle and is delivered across the north east by the 12 Local authorities.
The award scheme encourages employers to promote healthy lifestyles and consider the health of their employees, it recognises the achievement of these organisations and helps them to move forward in a structured and supported way. A healthier workforce can reduce sickness, boost morale and productivity and enhancing the employers reputation.
There are 4 levels of award, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Continuing Excellence with appropriate criteria at each stage to build into an award portfolio. Organisations work with a coordinator in their location to assist in the award process and signpost health professionals.
Jenny works in the Environmental Health Department at Stockton Council and has a split role of Environmental Health Officer and Better Health at Work Co-ordinator for the Stockton area. Along with her colleague Kanika McCabe, they are currently working with 16 businesses at different stages of the award and many others that are interested in health and wellbeing in general without being involved in the award.
