Support the health of your employees with the British Heart Foundation’s Health at Work Programme

The British Heart Foundation is committed to promoting cardiovascular health and the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Sickness absence costs UK businesses approximately £14 billion a year, so a healthy workforce makes good business sense.

Health at Work is our free, nationwide membership programme, designed to inspire and support health and wellbeing in workplaces across the UK. We currently have over 11,000 member organisations, dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of their staff.
