If you enjoyed our workplace health event on the 1st of March 2013 you’ll be pleased to hear that we’re doing it again!

Healthy Ambitions – At The Heart Of Your Business

You are invited to a free Workplace Health and Wellbeing Event in Norwich

When? On Friday 25th October 2013, Healthy Ambitions, supported by the British Heart Foundation (BHF), is holding an innovative and engaging event to promote workplace health and wellbeing to local business leaders in in this region.

Where? This unique, free event is being held at St Andrew’s Hall in the centre of Norwich (10 min walk from railway station).

What does the event include? Expert speakers on workplace health topics combined with fun, interactive sessions run by BHF to raise awareness of health issues and to promote the benefits of a healthier workforce to local employers.

Speakers include Sharon Roberts, Eastern Regional Manager of Diabetes UK, Carol Johnson, Director of the International Stress Management Association ISMA (UK) and Simone Black, Accredited Trainer for Alcohol Concern and the University of East Anglia’s Schools of Social Work and Lifelong Learning.

The morning sessions are highly interactive and a sociable experience and will deal with all the lifestyle issues associated with positive health. Activities include opportunities to challenge a robot at table tennis, to play the famous Beer Goggles game or to ride an ElliptiGO bike.

Following on from the success of the Healthy Ambitions Business Awards which have been running in Suffolk since 2009, and in response to our clients’ requests for additional support, we have redesigned our workplace health & wellbeing support programme. We have created a new e-handbook which will give guidance to employers on a wide range of topics and is full of helpful ideas and suggestions as well as templates for a wide range of policies and procedures. The new e-handbook includes a foreword by Dame Carol Black, DBE FRCP, Adviser on Work and Health at the Department of Health, England, Principal of Newnham College Cambridge, Chair of the Nuffield Trust, and Chair of the Governance Board, Centre for Workforce Intelligence.

We will also be launching a new and innovative Business Club which offers local employers a more bespoke approach to promoting health and wellbeing within their organisations. This will include an on-site consultation with our Workplace Health & Wellbeing professionals with who can deliver meaningful solutions aimed at creating healthier and happier workplaces.

Why come along? The event will give local employers the opportunity to learn about the important role that a healthy workforce plays in increasing business productivity and practical advice on how to achieve this. It will also be a great networking opportunity!
