Affinity Health at Work

We at Affinity Health at Work are a multi-award winning consultancy and research organisation. With over 20 years experience grounded in academic research and practical application, we are the experts in evidence-based wellbeing at work. Our mission at Affinity Health at Work is to improve the working lives of all. Working internationally, we partner with clients in four ways: ⭐️ Consultancy (assessing needs, developing solutions, conducting problem solving research) ⭐️ Development (training and coaching multiple stakeholders) ⭐️ Research (conducting original research with academic and institutional partners and through our research consortium) ⭐️ Insight (cross media publications and presentations, advisory/policy group positions) What makes us different is: ✓ Our clients get a better return on their investment because our solutions are supported by cutting edge research and we know what works (and what doesn’t) ✓ Our clients can be sure that the solutions we recommend are best practice and compliant with legislation because we are the people who professional bodies, institutions and policy makers choose to work with when they set wellbeing standards.
