BBC?s big workplace health challenge
28/06/05
The BBC is scouring the land for the UK?s healthiest employers. Between 6 June and 2 December 2005 it will be searching for nominations for five BBC 'Big Challenge' awards.
Categories are: healthiest small employer (up to 49 employees); healthiest medium-sized employer (50-249 employees); healthiest large employer (more than 250 employees); most improved employer, for employers who make health a priority for the first time in 2005; and unsung hero, for people who have motivated colleagues to take steps to lead healthier lives.
So if your employer is making genuine efforts to make the workplace healthier - not just telling you to eat well and exercise while working you into the ground in a cloud of dust and fumes - then you might want to consider putting their name forward.
And if you know of any 'unsung heroes' out there - and there?s got to tens of thousands of union safety reps could fit into this category - make sure their name goes forward.
