Five Star Wellbeing Audit

Wellbeing, Measured. Performance, Improved.

Understanding how your organisation supports employee wellbeing is key to building a resilient, high-performing workforce. The Five Star Wellbeing Audit, developed by British Safety Council, assesses how wellbeing is embedded, providing a clear benchmark and actionable recommendations for continual improvement.

Problems we solve

Gain recognition for workplace wellbeing through independent validation. The assessment identifies improvement areas and provides clear recommendations to strengthen practices and support employees.

It builds trust with employees and stakeholders while helping identify gaps and respond to evolving expectations.

By enhancing wellbeing strategies and management systems, organisations can strengthen culture, benchmark performance, support ESG reporting, and improve engagement, retention, and resilience.

Understanding your challenges

Not understanding your wellbeing performance can expose your organisation to risk. Rising expectations, organisational change, and workplace pressures make consistent management more difficult.

Organisations may need to demonstrate commitment, assess existing initiatives, and respond to increased focus on mental health, culture, and employee experience.

Wellbeing also supports ESG and governance expectations. This audit provides the clarity and independent assessment needed to strengthen performance.

Building stronger workplace wellbeing

More than just an audit, the Five Star Wellbeing Audit provides practical insight and expert guidance to strengthen wellbeing across your organisation while supporting a culture of continuous improvement. It is designed to help businesses move beyond wellbeing initiatives alone and create healthier, more supportive environments that benefit both employees and organisational performance.
