TES were recently awarded the\u00a0Workplace Health & Wellbeing Recognition Award by Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke (NICHS).\u00a0 The award was presented as recognition of the company\u2019s efforts in supporting the health and wellbeing of staff in the workplace.<\/p>\n
TES participated in the \u201cWork Well Live Well\u201d programme, fully funded by the Public Health Agency, and delivered by NICHS.\u00a0\u00a0The aim of the Work Well Live Well programme is to provide local workplaces with a framework to improve the health and wellbeing of their employees through personalised support.<\/p>\n
The roll-out of the programme, which was implemented by the TES staff team, kicked off with a workplace health and wellbeing survey.\u00a0 Results were analysed to determine health priorities and together with NICHS, a bespoke 3-year health action plan was developed specifically for TES.<\/p>\n
Simple adaptations were made at TES, such as greater access to healthy snacks and incentivised exercise.\u00a0 Vitally, the programme focused heavily on improving mental health and sleep, managing stress and reducing risk factors associated with heart disease.<\/p>\n
Head of HR Keith Smith commented, \u201cAt TES, the health and welfare of our workforce is our top priority.\u00a0 The NICHS \u2018Work Well Live Well\u2019 programme was an extremely positive programme for the company.\u00a0 Critically, it armed our people with the knowledge and skills to manage mental as well as physical health.\u201d<\/p>\n
