HEALTH AND WELL-BEING MANAGEMENT

Making health and well-being central to business strategy opens an important new avenue to increasing organisational effectiveness.
As the post-recession world economy slowly takes shape, those organisations that choose to follow this path are more likely to boost workforce productivity, drive business performance and realise core strategic goals.
The protection and promotion of employees’ health and well-being can bring considerable advantages not only to employees, who will enjoy opportunities to improve their own personal levels of health, fitness and well-being, but also to employers, who will benefit from increased energy, motivation and productivity in their workforce.
The business case for promoting health, well-being and engagement is clear. A healthy, engaged and resilient workforce is more productive and profitable in terms of efficiency, customer relations, team working loyalty and retention, and sustainable performance.

What is Health and Well-being?

There is currently no single definition of health or well-being, although there is a widespread consensus that it is more than the absence of illness.

The World Health Organisation defines health as: ‘a state of complete mental, physical and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’.
The Oxford dictionary defines:
  • Health as being well in mind and body, and
  • Well-being as happiness, contentment and prosperity

Benefits to your organisation of using the principles of Health and Well-being at Work

The benefits identified by organisations include:

  • Improved productivity and quality of work
  • Improved staff morale
  • Improved staff sickness absence rates
  • Improved staff attitudes and behaviours
  • Reduced recruitment costs through lower staff turnover
  • Reduced work-related injury and accidents

As human beings we possess one of the most complex designs the world has ever seen. There is more to our make-up than merely a body, there are four major aspects to each person, and all impact on each other; health and well-being and consequently the productivity and profitability of the organisation.

Our health and well-being plays a critical role in all accomplishments and therefore it is important to develop a more holistic and rounded view of health and well-being.
