Employers who demonstrate a real commitment to staff wellbeing can become WorkWell Employer Champions, recognised leaders in creating supportive workplaces. Becoming a Champion means joining a growing network of organisations that understand that wellbeing and success go hand in hand.
In every sector, organisations are realising that their most valuable asset isn’t technology, products, or even strategy, it’s people. When staff feel valued, supported, and mentally healthy, businesses thrive. Investing in employee wellbeing is no longer a ‘nice to have’; it’s one of the smartest business decisions an employer can make.
Workplaces that prioritise wellbeing enjoy a wide range of benefits. They see higher productivity, lower absenteeism, and greater staff retention. Employees who feel cared for bring energy, creativity, and commitment to their roles. They collaborate better, handle challenges more effectively, and contribute to a positive working culture.
In contrast, when wellbeing is overlooked, performance suffers, burnout, disengagement, and high turnover become costly business problems.

How Workwell can help local employers
WorkWell is a free programme designed to help create healthier, happier workplaces. It offers fast, confidential, and personalised support, including one-to-one coaching and access to the WorkWell mental health app, which provides tools and guidance to help employees manage stress and build resilience.
The programme’s goal is simple but powerful: to help create supportive environments where people can truly thrive. Whether your business is large or small, public or private, WorkWell offers practical advice and resources tailored to your employees’ specific needs. It’s not about quick fixes, it’s about creating long-term change that benefits both people and performance.
As a WorkWell Employer Champion, your organisation will:
- Advocate: Act as an ambassador for WorkWell, signposting staff and colleagues to its free wellbeing resources and support.
- Share: Highlight the ways your organisation fosters a safe, supportive environment and inspires others to do the same.
- Feature: Appear in a written case study and a short video, showcasing your wellbeing journey and achievements.
- Promote: Use the official Employer Champion branding in organisational materials and be featured in WorkWell’s promotional campaigns.
- Connect: Check in with the WorkWell team periodically to share updates, feedback, and ideas to help grow awareness of the programme.
Recognition for being a Workwell Champion
In recognition of your commitment, WorkWell will highlight your organisation as a leading example of good practice. Employer Champions are showcased on NHS and Voluntary Sector Forum websites, featured across social media, and included in paid communications, such as press features and adverts that celebrate your success. It’s a great way to enhance your reputation as an employer that truly values its people.
