The Borders Healthy Working Lives Adviser is based in the NHS Borders, Occupational Health Service office in Newstead. We are here to help employers, employees and all our partner agencies come together to create a much healthier and more motivated workforce. To do this, we offer free, confidential workplace visits, practical information and advice on a wide range of topics, and a structured Award Programme.
Workplaces have an important part to play in improving the nation's health.
Working with Healthy Working Lives (HWL) provides businesses with help and advice to enable them to work in ways that not only allow them to sustain, but to improve the health, safety and well-being of their workforce.
Over the next few years, HWL will play an important part in helping the Scottish Government meet its targets to reduce work-related ill health by 20%, and days lost to ill health by 30%.
To help reach these targets businesses must ensure that their workers remain safe and healthy. Healthy Working Lives offers a range of free services to help them achieve this.
