About the Well-Being Programme

The Well-Being Programme aims to promote the health and well-being of all Children Service employees, working in partnership with existing support networks and initiatives, in order to provide a better working environment within Norfolk County Council.

Staff are the most important resource in any organisation and the Well-Being Programme wants to find out

• How staff feel about their work
• What ideas do they have for improving their own well-being and the well-being of others in the workplace
• Help staff to improve their work/life balance

The Well-Being Programme is an active, preventative strategy, aimed at finding out what helps and communicating it as widely as possible, it is not intended to load even more work upon people who are already heavily burdened! The programme wants to reverse what has been called 'the culture of blame', where it exists, in which it can be seen as a sign of weakness for individuals to admit how distressed they feel, or that they can't cope with the demands being made of them. In such workplaces, mistakes tend to be highlighted while good work can go without praise or acknowledgement. We emphasise how everyone has a responsibility in establishing a positive work culture.
