- Better staff retention and improved productivity.
- Reduce absence in the workplace in a number of ways. From supporting employees to remain in work via Racing’s Occupational Health Service, to providing a confidential support line for mental health and wellbeing, and to address practical issues in their home life.
- Workforce wellbeing services can help to reduce work-related stress.
Who is it for?
The Workforce Wellbeing programme exists to support the overall wellbeing of people working in the British horseracing industry through a comprehensive range of services. The programme is available to stud, stable and racecourse staff, as well as those working in a broad range of associated roles within racing.
But I am already a member of an Employee Assistance Programme?
The Workforce Wellbeing Programme should provide the same comprehensive package that you currently have but for a fraction of the cost, without reducing the quality or integrity of the services on offer.
