Business Health Matters
The Business Health Matters project will support businesses in the county to improve the physical and mental health of their employees, so that staff are happier, healthier and more resilient.
The Business Health Matters project offers fully funded basic skills training and accredited level 2 and 3 Workplace Health Champion training for businesses in the county. Poor health in Lancashire has a huge impact on local businesses, the economy and the health service. By empowering employees to drive change in the workplace, we are supporting businesses in maintaining healthy teams, reducing absence, presenteeism and staff turnover as a result of poor health. By upskilling employees, we support business growth, increase employability levels and play our part in reducing the gender pay gap. Investing in the wellbeing of staff benefits businesses and employees, whilst supporting Lancashire to become a happier and healthier place to live and work.
