The health, safety and wellbeing of our people is our highest priority. We’re proud to deliver services that improve the quality of life and protect the health of people in Northern Ireland. In NIW, the quality of life begins with looking after the health, safety and wellbeing of our own employees. NIW’s award-winning health and wellbeing strategy supports physical, mental, social and financial health in the belief that prevention is better than cure. Our strategy is recognised as an example of best practice in Northern Ireland, achieving multiple business awards (five over the last five years) and more importantly, the programme has proven to have been successful in helping to improve the health and wellbeing of many of our employees. We have had excellent feedback from employees who have benefitted from the various programmes including a few notable cases where early identification of health issues presented more serious consequences. We reach into communities, bringing our Health & Wellbeing initiatives to our frontline workforce, who are typically poor adopters of healthcare through our annual ‘Live Well Roadshows’ featuring one to one health check-ups and flu vaccinations. We bring the families of our colleagues into the fold in our People initiatives, particularly in our health and wellbeing programme.
