Who’s it for?
Essex Working Well is for all Essex‑based workplaces (excluding Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock) that want to improve staff health, wellbeing, morale, and productivity through free support, training, and wellbeing programmes.
What is it?
A free workplace health and wellbeing service, part of the Essex Wellbeing Service, offering organisations access to programmes such as the Working Well Accreditation, Mental Health Aware training, Small Business Workplace Wellbeing Awards, and onsite health and wellbeing services.
What’s required?
Businesses simply sign up for one or more programmes - there’s no cost to participate - and are asked to engage with the wellbeing support and training provided. Each programme is flexible, and organisations can choose the level of involvement that suits their needs, supported by Working Well specialists.
How does it work?
Workplaces register their interest online, and the Essex Working Well team connects them to the right programme based on their goals. Once enrolled, organisations receive ongoing support, training opportunities, health checks, wellbeing sessions, and access to resources and specialist guidance to help them build a healthier, more supportive workplace.

Stories of progress
Don't just take our word for it, hear from the local individuals who are scaling faster and thinking bigger.
“The Innovation Grant Mentoring Programme didn’t just help us write a stronger grant application, it changed how we tell KIGO’s story. That is the kind of support every early-stage founder needs and almost none can find.”

“The support was incredibly helpful. I was able to step back, really look at where the business was going, and understand the financial side more clearly. It also made me realise the true value of what I was delivering - something I hadn’t fully recognised before.”

“Pitching to companies was the best, from a commercial and learning perspective. Secondly the other cohort members, I feel I've met like minded people going through or have been through similar challenges.”
