Healthy Workplaces Podcast Banner - Episode 17 - Talking Health and Wellbeing

This Podcast is hosted by Fergal Fox who talks about Healthy Workplaces with Biddy O’Neill from Healthy Ireland in the Department of Health

The discussion covers the background to the Healthy Workplace Framework – Healthy Ireland at Work, and why and how the recently launched Healthy Workplace Website will guide workplaces on the best things they can do to develop and improve the wellbeing of their staff.

Biddy shares her insights into the potential of Healthy Workplaces, what the evidence tells us and what they hope to achieve with the new website as a one stop shop for workplaces, with lots of resources to signpost and support.

Listen and follow wherever you get your Podcasts or on the HSE Health and Wellbeing YouTube channel.
