work well with nature
The work well with nature programme is delivered by Shropshire Wildlife Trust and funded by Telford and Wrekin Council. It offers line managers, HR managers, OH/H&S managers and employers, programmes to help proactively improve the health and wellbeing of their employees, reduce absence, and support return to work plans achieved through practical nature-based outdoor activities.
Absence is still a significant drain on British businesses....forward-looking companies will invest in health and well-being services to tackle the issue before absence starts to hit their bottom lines.Leading HR Consultant at PwC
