Work is a big part of most adults’ lives; how we spend our working day can really influence our health and wellbeing. This guide gives employees information about mental and physical health and where to find support and advice.


On average, adults spend one third of their life at work, which means our working environment can play a big part in our health and wellbeing. Not only does a supportive work environment have a positive impact on health, but healthier workforces are more productive too.

Bristol City Council has produced a set of connected web pages with background information, advice and lots of links to further reading. They cover:

  • Health and safety
  • Sickness absence
  • Alcohol
  • Smoking and tobacco
  • Physical activity
  • Mental health
  • Sleep
  • Healthy eating
  • Information about other health topics
