In September 2021, Worcestershire County Council launched their Acting Together to Prevent Suicide campaign in partnership with Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care Trust. The campaign is fronted by Delicious Orie – a GB boxer with roots in Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
Worcestershire County Council said: “Our vision for Herefordshire and Worcestershire is that no person should feel ashamed or must sit alone with their thoughts of suicide. Everyone in this situation should know that they are not alone, and that suicide is not their only option.”
They have recognised the impact COVID-19 continues to have on businesses and their employees. This has had a significant impact on staff recruitment and retention and businesses are now operating differently in terms of working patterns and employee expectations.
A Worcestershire Workplace Health Survey has been released as part of this campaign. This survey aims to gather feedback on Worcestershire’s current workplace health programme, Worcestershire Works Well, and gain an understanding of what support businesses would find most beneficial in improving employee health and wellbeing. In completing the survey your business details will remain confidential and the survey results will be analysed anonymously. The closing date for responses is Monday 12th September 2022. Thank you for your time.
