Good health and wellbeing brings many benefits for all of us

With most adults spending a substantial proportion of their daily lives in the workplace, employers can play a vital role in improving the health and wellbeing of the workforce. This may include ongoing workplace health promotion, raising awareness of particular health issues and supporting employees to make healthier lifestyle choices.

Making changes in the workplace to improve health and wellbeing not only reduces sickness but also creates a more positive work force. Simple measures to prevent and manage ill health can have benefits for both the employee and the employer and can lead to: reduced sickness increased productivity a competitive edge motivated workforce reduced turnover of staff retention of experienced staff enhanced company reputation attracting new staff and customers. Businesses across Worcestershire have committed to putting the health and wellbeing of their employees at the heart of everything they do. Working towards a Worcestershire Works Well Accreditation has had so many benefits for businesses, including the positive impact for employees. Since the scheme has been running, we have been delighted to welcome so many businesses in the area onto the programme, and see so many achieve their accreditations.

Below are some of the pictures we have enjoyed receiving over the years!

Redhill Manufacturing moves to purpose-built new premises

It’s good news from Redhill as the Redditch-based manufacturing company is now fully operational from new, fully equipped, purpose-built premises located at Lakeside Industrial Estate.

The move comes following a major fire at the company’s premises in May 2022, forcing Redhill to operate from a temporary facility while the new building was being equipped. The new premises are fitted with some of the latest equipment available on the market, including a new Nukon ECO 315 4kw sheet fibre laser, spot welder, band saw, notcher, fly press, chop saw and Coastone electric press brake, delivering new levels of efficiency and capability.

Sales Director, Ross Anderson, comments: “We are hugely proud of our new factory, which enables us to extend our range of ‘Well Built in Britain’ access, handling and storage equipment across the UK and Europe. We look forward to showing visitors around.” To find out more about Redhill, please visit www.redhillmanufacturing.co.uk
