This term is a heading taken from an agreement between a workers' council and management team in relation to a teleworking scheme. Would anyone know what the equivalent term is in UK English? One option could be "Office welfare", however I'm pretty sure that there is a more appropriate term....
Many thanks for your help!!

Office health and safety
Accidents happen in the office but the health and safety measures need to be matched to the level of risk.

Comment: "Many thanks Kim, you're spot on as usual :) And yes, "works council" seems to occur more frequently than "workers' council" so will go with that too! Many thanks again!"
