"People are leaving the public sector because of negative experiences rather than compelling alternative options.”
Audit Commission, 2002
In the pressurised environment of the public sector, it has never been more important to ensure the health, wellbeing and commitment of employees.
It is only with high-performing staff that local authorities are able to provide high-quality services to the public, as efficiently as possible.
From the outset, Worklife Support has worked in close partnership with a large number of local authorities. Having seen the success of our work in schools, more than 60 local authority service teams from across the UK have chosen to participate in our Well-Being Programme – and the network is expanding rapidly.
Our longstanding relationships with local authorities have given us a unique insight into the pressures faced by managers and staff nationwide, and the complex environments in which you work.
This means we can tailor programmes to fit your unique requirements.
“The number of days lost through sickness absence in the teaching force fell by 19% between 2005 and 2006, which is equivalent in cash terms to a saving of over £500,000. This reduction in staff absence is the fruit of the hard work of heads and school staff in meeting the challenges of workforce reform, supported by the excellent work of the Well-Being Programme.”
Local authority councillor, North-West England
