The Healthy Working Lives Award Programme is the cornerstone of the Centre's unique, integrated approach to building a strong and healthy Scottish workforce. The progamme offers a clear evidence-based framework for improving health at work, relevant to the needs of all employers and celebrates good practice.
There are 3 levels of the programme; Bronze, Silver and Gold. Healthy eating is introduced at the Bronze level by promoting healthy eating in the workplace. Silver level builds on this foundation activity by implementing a Healthy Eating written statement which ensures commitment to supporting and facilitating healthy options both in organisations with and without catering facilities. At the Gold level, organisations are required to maintain the standards and integrate the criteria into everyday practice thus ensuring sustainability for the health improvement of their workforce.
