A MALVERN firm was included in the latest Public Health England (PHE) report on identifying promising practices in health and well-being for the workplace.
Selected from 117 submissions, The Healthy Worker, owned and managed by experienced occupational health adviser Liz Preece, provided vital research into the importance of helping businesses provide effective health and well-being strategies for the significant reduction of employee absence and sick leave.
The influential report, entitled ‘Promising Practices for Health and Well-being at Work’, was commissioned by PHE to review the current landscape of health and well-being interventions available to employers, taking into account the rise of individuals suffering with mental health conditions.
Liz said: “I am delighted The Healthy Worker was included in the latest PHE report, particularly as we were able to submit in-depth research which showcased improved well-being for individuals and just how much businesses could save by simply implementing effective well-being strategies for their employees.”
A comprehensive document, the 100-plus page report highlights the latest evidence a healthier workforce is a more productive workforce and cites effective interventions from both large scale providers and SMEs who are able to provide research-based evidence of the effectiveness of their interventions.
“It’s fantastic to see the variations in different health and well-being organisations nationwide which are helping to tackle the previous lack of support for staff suffering with mental health or other conditions,” added Liz.
“This report highlights those within in the sector who have sought ways to evaluate the effect they are having and proves with a clear well-being strategy, businesses can improve their own outcomes whilst also empowering their staff to thrive and grow with them.”
