Work Well Live Well

What we do

Work Well Live Well is a regional workplace health support service funded by the Public Health Agency and established in 2016.

Developing Healthy Communities currently leads on the 2020-2023 contract for Western Trust Area and its [email protected] NI team works within three distinct levels of commitment from employers. These are part of a continuum in which employers and employees work within an ongoing continual improvement process for Workplace Health and Wellbeing (WHO 2010).

We deliver support to small, medium and large businesses; and target those with employees at risk of poor health and wellbeing, including low paid, sedentary, migrant and LGBTQ employees.
