Wellbeing initiatives are designed to help everyone feel more satisfied and positive about the time they spend at work, and beyond. At times of stress, worry and acute financial concern, they are more important than ever in large companies, and also small ones. Jon Herbert reports in this article from Croner-i.

Now recognised as an important link between health, work and non-work activities, the term wellbeing refers to actions, systems, aids and processes that are increasingly being introduced by business organisations to improve the happiness, safety, morale and performance of their employees.

Used to create pleasant and supportive teams and social and community environments, wellbeing initiatives often encourage exercise, involve social events and might typically include lunchtime walking clubs to boost staff fitness, teamwork and mental wellbeing.
