Forum will advise on how to create the right work environment

Expert guidance on how to maximise workplace wellbeing will be at the heart of the sixth Coventry and Warwickshire Workplace Wellbeing Forum in June.

The Forum will take place on Tuesday 24th June (9.30am-12:30pm) at Eliot Park Innovation Centre, Nuneaton as part of the Coventry and Warwickshire Wellbeing for Life programme.

Representatives from businesses across the region are invited to attend the free, varied programme which will focus on mental wellbeing in the workplace and the multitude of benefits that can bring to businesses not only in terms of employee contentment, but also staff retention and productivity.

The Workplace Wellbeing Forum is delivered by Public Health teams across Warwickshire County Council and Coventry City Council and is a place for local employers to network, share best practice and access resources that will support them in developing improved wellbeing practices.

Exhibitors at the event will include Mind, Safeline, Thrive at Work, Smokefree Cov & Warks, Everyone Health, Healthy Lifestyle Service and Amparo. Speakers will include a Safeline representative, talking about their training on Preventing and Responding to Sexual Harassment in the Workplace, and Warwickshire County Council's Employability Programme Manager, Joanne Prosser, who will speak about Workwell and how employers can refer in to the free service to support their staff to remain in work and return to work.

Further speakers are in the process of being finalised. Full details of the event will be in the May edition of Warwickshire Means Business.

The forum will discuss how employers can play a crucial role in supporting the government's "Get Britain Working" plans. Eventbrite tickets are now available here. For further information, please contact josouthan@warwickshire.gov.uk
