Teesside University maintains excellent rating in Better Health at Work Award

Teesside University’s commitment to staff health and wellbeing has once again been recognised with the Better Health at Work (Maintaining Excellence) Award following the annual external accreditation review. Maintaining Excellence is the highest level that can be achieved.

The Better Health at Work Award is endorsed by Public Health England and acknowledges the University’s strategic approach to staff health and wellbeing and the importance of staff engagement in the development of health and wellbeing initiatives.

The award follows successful completion of our 2022/23 Staff Health and Wellbeing Action Plan, which included a focus on improved mental health and wellbeing and reducing cancer risks among the top priorities.

Juliet Amos, Executive Director of Human Resources, said: ‘We are delighted to have once again maintained the Better Health at Work award, which reflects our ongoing commitment to enhancing the overall welfare of all our colleagues.

Credit for maintaining this award should go to the Health, Safety and Wellbeing and Employee Engagement Teams in HR, who have developed and implemented a comprehensive range of health and wellbeing initiatives and training over the last year in direct response to the needs identified by staff across the University.’
