Workplace Health

Healthier working conditions have many benefits for both employers and employees, including improved morale and motivation. Scotland's Health at Work (SHAW) was set up in 1996 to offer organisations free health advice and support.

SHAW works with organisations of all sizes, from large Public Sector bodies to Small-to-Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). SHAW's SME Toolkit gives extra help to companies with 50 employees or less.

The SHAW Awards Scheme sets goals for organisations to achieve bronze, silver and then gold level. These awards and the Commendation for mental health are all presented at an annual ceremony.
