REBA technical training series: How to maximise take-up of health and wellbeing benefits through communication

Most employers would agree that offering health and wellbeing benefits to staff has advantages for the business too. But offering these initiatives is pointless unless they are valued and used by employees; and this can only happen if people know they are available in the first place.

  • Making the business case for a communications budget
  • Communication methods
  • Pitfalls and legalities
  • Measuring success
