A Simple, Free Way for SMEs to Strengthen Employee Wellbeing

2 February 2026

Supporting employee wellbeing doesn’t need to be complicated or costly. The Healthy Workplaces Leicestershire & Rutland Accreditation offers small and medium-sized enterprises a free, practical and flexible way to improve workforce health — while strengthening engagement, morale and productivity.

Designed with busy organisations in mind, the accreditation is easy to follow and fully tailored to the needs of your business and your people.

No two workplaces are the same — and neither are their wellbeing challenges. That’s why every organisation’s accreditation journey begins with a Workplace Health Needs Assessment (WHNA). This short assessment identifies the areas where your workforce needs the most support, ensuring your time and resources are focused where they’ll have the greatest impact.

Based on your results, you’ll receive bespoke guidance, goals and targets, supported by the Healthy Workplaces team every step of the way.

By joining the Healthy Workplaces Accreditation, your business can:

  • Receive tailored, expert guidance to improve employee health and wellbeing
  • Track progress easily through an online dashboard
  • Gain public recognition on the Healthy Workplaces website
  • Promote your organisation as an employer that genuinely cares, using official Healthy Workplaces Accreditation branding

The Healthy Workplaces Leicestershire & Rutland Accreditation is free for organisations based within Leicestershire and Rutland County Council boundaries.

If your organisation is based in Leicester City or outside the county, the team can provide further information on available options. Healthy Workplaces Leicestershire & Rutland Accreditation | HealthyWorkplaces
