Who is The Wellbeing @ Work Foundation (TWWF)?

We are a new not for profit Foundation that aims to help as many people as possible to be fit for work, attend their work and perform when at work. As a Foundation we believe that there is not enough effective information or support for employers, managers and/or individuals who are suffering with Wellbeing or People Management related issues. With the current economic challenges, increasing unemployment and rising instances of claims and conflict it has never been more important to create the right working environment and culture within your place of work.

The Foundation believes that society, companies, individuals and the economy as a whole would benefit from having as many well-meaning and successful employers as possible who know and understand the real value and benefits arising from managing people properly. Stress, absenteeism and poor attitudes towards work have negative impacts on people, profits, performance, reputations and productivity. With costs of over £100 billion and 200 million lost days each year we believe there must be a better way.

We want to help employers avoid repeating the mistakes of others and to prevent any damage to profits, welfare, health, time, money, resources and people`s lives caused by such issues. Employers need to become more aware of the substantial rewards and considerable business gains possible by applying real solutions for the mutual benefit of employer and employee alike. Research shows that for every £1 invested at least £4 can be recouped (often more). We realise that by helping just one employer we can help many employees.

We have a range of experts across various related fields working in partnership to deliver a truly multi-disciplinary approach. Our team will share knowledge across Occupational Health (OH), Human Resources (HR), Employment Law, Health & Safety (H&S), and Conflict Resolution. This constructive, round-table approach will focus on what CAN be done as well as creating and sharing the best work-related practices in order to deliver real benefits to everyone.
