Smokefree Kent Business Awards - Fund Your Business not the
Habit
Helping staff to quit smoking not only benefits their health and
their families’ health but can help your business make savings.
Smokers are estimated to cost Kent businesses around £215
million a year but do you know how much smoking costs your
business?
The Smokefree Kent Business Awards will be launched later this
year to recognise employers who are working to create a smokefree
workforce
The scheme offers free advice, tools and support to Kent
businesses helping them to save money and improve the health of
their staff.
This includes:
- A tailored assessment to find out the cost of smoking to your
business
- A review of your existing smoking policy and recommendations
that will increase the quality of your policy and have positive
impact on your business
- Direct links/fast track to workplace stop smoking services and
guidance on how to help your employees quit smoking.
A number of Kent businesses are already working with the scheme
and tackling smoking in their workplace. This includes Asda
Dartford Ambient, B&Q Ashford and AXA PPP.in Tunbridge
Wells.
Smokefree Kent can offer you:
- Financial savings for your company and staff – The financial
assessment will highlight how much you can save based on staff who
quit smoking. It will also calculate average savings for staff and
as a workforce combined.
- Improved company image
- Increased staff productivity, morale and retention
- Reduced sickness rates and increased health of employees
- Free Publicity – businesses will have the opportunity to be an
exemplar for the scheme and appear on our website as a case
study.
Opportunity to be an award winner - Award winners will also have a
number of publicity opportunities internally and externally to be
recognised for their commitment to a smokefree future for their
staff
