Edinburgh Napier has successfully retained its Gold Award from the Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives by maintaining staff health and wellbeing through a number of initiatives. 
Edinburgh Napier has been active in promoting health and well-being within the University for many years. In 1997, the University achieved the Bronze Scotland Health at Work award. By 2001 it had achieved the Gold award which it has retained since.
The University passed the re-accreditation assessment in June after assessors were satisfied the University was maintaining its commitment of providing a healthy workplace and environment for its staff.
The University is delighted to maintain the Gold status and is committed to promoting and improving employee health and wellbeing.
The health and wellbeing group and employees have been at the heart of this award and have been fully involved in developing and implementing a Healthy Working Lives programme.
The University’s long-term commitment to improving health and wellbeing in the workplace, enhances employees' sense of being valued, raises morale, impacts positively on staff retention and recruitment and reduces sickness absence levels thus improving productivity and socially responsible working practices.
