Employer Workshops

Coventry City Council organise free and subsidised training through the Employer of Choice programme which, covers various topics around Employment, Business sustainability, Work-life balance and Health and Wellbeing.

The forthcoming workshops below are the first in a programme of support for employers to promote the benefits of health and work in response to Dame Carol Black's review of the health of Britain's working age population. As this project is supported by external ESF funding, these sessions will be offered free of charge, although an administration fee will be charged for non-attendance. Booking is essential and numbers are restricted to two delegates per company. Please feel free to pass this information on to other colleagues located within Coventry.
