Promoting Wellbeing Through a Champions Network

Summary

In conjunction with external partners Crossrail developed and used a defined six-step programme to implement its occupational health and wellbeing strategy. One of the steps identified was to create a local champion network to provide a localised approach to embed the programme across the various projects located on multiple sites.

This report describes how the champion network was developed, how ownership of the role was generated and what the expectations were of the network. It identifies the lessons learned and provides recommendations that would be of interest to any large project looking to develop and improve their employee wellbeing strategy.
