About This Indicator
Desired Outcome:

Relevant Route Map action:
Maximise promotion of healthy lives approach in
public sector through clear, consistent vision.
Geography available:
National, Health Board.
Equalities data:
Not applicable.
Rationale for including this indicator:
The aim of this indicator is to assess the take-up
of Healthy Working Lives Awards by companies. The indicator will
show the level of award (Gold, Silver, Bronze) as well as the
number of companies working towards their Bronze award –
hence providing both an indication of the general awareness and
take-up of the scheme, and the proportion of companies providing
the highest level of support.
A high level of evidence exists in literature for the
effectiveness of multi-component workplace interventions with a low
to moderate rating for potential population effectiveness. The
ScotPHN engagement process for the Route Map assessed the action as
having high impact with low to medium effort.
Factors influencing this indicator:
- Availability and affordability of healthy choices.
