Corporate Culture

A Council with a corporate culture that actively promotes health improvement will have features that include:

• A high level of health consciousness at the centre of the organisation, radiating out to all levels and ultimately to those directly engaging with citizens and communities
• Health improvement is central to the vision of the community plan, and pervades all aspects of corporate life alongside social inclusion, equality and sustainability
• The Council uses its community leadership role to drive implementation of the vision for improving health
• The Council actively values the health of its employees and elected members through the Corporate Health Standard, investment in occupational health and promoting positive lifestyles for work/life balance, acting as a local exemplar of good practice
