The protection and promotion of employees’ health and well-being can bring considerable advantages not only to workers, 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. Indeed, promoting employees’ health and well-being is rapidly becoming the single most powerful way of enhancing performance and productivity in order to gain a competitive edge.
Research specially commissioned for Dame Carol Black's review of the health of Britain's workforce, found considerable evidence that health and well-being programmes produced economic benefits across all sectors and all sizes of business: in other words, that good health is good business.
This programme will provide clear and useable knowledge of the nature of health and well-being and can be based around a ‘live’ project for your organisation. This programme gives those with management responsibility the knowledge and tools to take long term responsibility for this costly area of employee management.
The business also benefits from the date of enrolment as live issues are tackled, strategies developed, appropriate policies and procedures discussed and well-being audits (optional) undertaken for all employees. This ensures the business is compliant with the Health and Safety at Work Act; which states there is a duty on every employer to ensure as far as is reasonably practicable the health, safety and welfare at work of all employees’.
Participants are supported in their role with information and resources, such as enabling work-life balance for their team, effective people management skills and performance management support. As well as information and support on creating work-life balance and managing stress, this programme is packed with exercises, tools and tips on the effective management of health and well-being.
