Background

Employee well-being has never been a more prominent issue for HR and OH professionals than it is now, following the release of Dame Carol Black’s review; ‘Working for a healthy tomorrow’, and the introduction of Alan Johnson’s ‘Well Note’ culture. Companies are no longer just adhering to government legislation, but are now also investing in the development of a healthier, more resilient workforce, with the aim of boosting productivity. Whilst the focus was once on the physical health of employees, well-being now encompasses a broader spectrum of issues such as mental health, work/life balance and financial health, as well as fitness and physical health. This forum looks to examine the various aspects of employee well-being, from the strategies that companies can take to promote and maintain well-being within the company, from the top down, to creating measures to assess the success of these initiatives.
