The workshop events cover priorities, standards, policies and improving processes and for getting prompt attention to health problems.
The events will be an important step to make progress on Health and Wellbeing issues, extending involvement and input and improving working relationships, moving forward positively.

It has been agreed that three events will be run for CWU ASRs and nominations are now invited. (Some SHE people and CMA ASRs who were unable to attend their own events may also participate in the CWU dates.

These meetings have been agreed and arranged firstly for CWU ASRs to meet the RMG National Health of Health Judith Grant face to face and for Judith to summarily outline her Occupational Health and Wellbeing strategy and plans for Royal Mail Group going forward and to emphasise the importance of RM/CWU joint working on Health and Wellbeing improvements and initiatives and to give updates on national initiatives and joint talks as well as for CWU ASRs to talk directly, face to face, with the National Head of Health in an open forum about current occupational Health and wellbeing issues and concerns plus ongoing, developments and programmes etc, along with day to day issues ASRs have.
