Prioritising workplace wellbeing is key to attracting and retaining top talent. Receiving the KeepWell Mark™ accreditation from Ibec demonstrates your organisation’s commitment to the health and wellbeing of your employees. The KeepWell programme will provide you with all the tools necessary to embed the highest standards of good workplace health, wellbeing, and safety practices. Additionally, it serves to strengthen your employer brand – both internally with your staff, and externally with key stakeholders.
The process to get your organisation accredited with the KeepWell Mark includes self-assessment, action plans and evidence gathering, site visits, a full assessment report and award of accreditation.
About the KeepWell Mark
The process
To achieve the KeepWell Mark, employers will gather a portfolio of evidence to show they meet the standards of the KeepWell Framework.
The graphic below illustrates the main steps in the accreditation process:
1. Self-Assessment
Begin by conducting a self-assessment to identify our organisation’s current level and uncover gaps. Use this information to plan how to meet the standards for your desired level of accreditation and implement these changes in your organisation.
Take our mini assessment
2. Evidence Review
Gather evidence for each standard in your self- assessment, such as policies, surveys, photos, emails, or meeting minutes, showing progress across all levels.
3. Site Assessment
An assessor will visit your workplace to review evidence, observe wellbeing programmes and engage staff through focus groups.
4. Feedback
After the assessment, you'll receive a personalised report analysing your performance against KeepWell standards along with detailed recommendations.
5. Accreditation
On accreditation, your organisation will receive a two-year award, use of the KeepWell Mark logo, a listing on the Ibec Accredited Registrar, media profiling, and access to events and webinars.
The standards
The KeepWell Mark sets the national benchmark for workplace wellbeing in Ireland, structured around eight key pillars of health, wellbeing, and safety. The framework provides clear standards, along with guidance and resources, to help organisations effectively understand and implement these standards. Explore each pillar to learn more.
