Working for Health is the Workplace Health Strategy for Northern Ireland which aims to improve the health of our workforce.

For Northern Ireland companies the cost of ill health among its workforce comes in many forms. Sickness absence is perhaps the most obvious, but there are also missed deadlines, loss of production, recruiting costs (when empoyees leave) and higher insurance premiums.

It is important to note that workplaces can make a difference to health. They have the potential to support and promote good health and there is no doubt that a good working environment has the potential to make people feel better and to help increase their sense of wellbeing.

This is the clear message throughout Working for Health.
