Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service Plan 2024 to 2025

Strategic priorities 14 and 15

LFR is a workplace where all staff are valued and supported and feel they belong, in an environment free from bullying, harassment, discrimination, abuse and harm. We want our employees to bring their authentic selves to work every day so they can thrive and continue to help keep our communities safer by delivering services that are professional, inclusive, safe and inspire public confidence and trust.

Our vision is to have a ‘healthy, happy and resilient workforce’.  We are committed to ensuring a healthy and safe working environment which supports all staff in maintaining and enhancing their personal health and wellbeing at work.  We do this by prioritising preventative health initiatives and providing the tools and support to encourage managers and staff to stay fit, happy and healthy.

We also want to ensure all staff have access to a whole health and wellbeing offering, enabling them to access the support needed to keep and enhance their physical, mental, social, and financial wellbeing. This intrinsically aligns with Lincolnshire County Council’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy
