WHY WELLBEING AT WORK MATTERS
For Individuals
Thrive, connect and improve mental wellbeing
"20% boost in productivity and significantly lower sick days when people are participating in wellbeing programmes"
(Global Wellness Institute, 2025)
For Organisations
High impact, low cost, simple to implement
"9 out of 10 UK staff say mental health at work is their biggest concern, and 80% would join group activities that help them feel better and more connected"
(Accenture, 2018)
For Communities
Inclusion and social health across Greater Manchester
"66% of UK professionals say they’re on the edge of burnout driven by stress, isolation, and lack of connection at work"
(Forbes, 2025)
DON'T JUST LISTEN TO US
"This is a really exciting programme that shows the power of putting wellbeing front and centre. It's a brilliant opportunity to bring our workforce together. "
Cllr Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council
"The Greater Manchester Wellbeing Series is a flagship demonstration that we care about our workforce and our communities. It's about prevention, not just cure, creating a culture where people look after their mental and physical health together."
Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester
"Construction is built on teamwork, yet we don't always apply that same thinking to wellbeing. At CFW, we see strong mental health, physical wellbeing and connection as essential foundations for a sustainable industry. Coming together for mentors and mentees for the City Wellbeing Series is about showing that when people feel supported, valued and healthy, they perform better, stay longer and thrive - both on site and beyond it. "
Renee Preston, Contruction for Women
"Wellbeing is core to every engaged workforce and that does not just mean physical wellbeing, but also mental wellbeing and JW Lees supports a healthy workforce in many ways. "
William Lees Jones, CEO of JW Lees
