Agenda item

Director of Human Resources

The Board noted that workplace health had been highlighted as a national priority by Public Health England. City of London’s Corporate HR Department was developing a strategy on workplace health and wellbeing. This aimed to improve practice within the Corporation as an employer and synergise with Health and Wellbeing Board’s

City-wide and national activities.

The work by the Health and Wellbeing Board had driven the agenda forward

locally. Members agreed that it was important that the City of London Corporation reviews and improved its own workplace health policies and practice for its own staff to demonstrate best practice. Failure to do this may impact not only on the

health and wellbeing of the workforce but also on the City’s ability to lead and

influence other organisations.

Resolved: Members supported the establishment of a Workplace Health and Wellbeing Strategy.
