Effectiveness of the Scottish Government staff wellbeing hour pilot: FOI release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Information requested
Any reports/results published about the effectiveness of the wellbeing hour pilot.
Response
The Wellbeing Hour pilot launched on 3 July 2023 and ended on Friday 27th September 2024. The pilot allowed colleagues working at Bands A-C within the Scottish Government main bargaining (SGM) unit to use up to one hour (pro-rata for part-time staff) of their normal weekly working hours to undertake activities to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. A list of bodies covered by SGM can be found in Annex A.
A staff survey and evaluation of the wellbeing hour pilot was conducted at the midway point of the pilot in February 2024. I enclose a copy of this evaluation as requested
