“Excellent

Graham and Deborah were excellent helping the team work together to create a business strategy that they really did own and deliver against. The whole process was both focused and enjoyable and brought the team closer together."

The latest official data shows that 32.5 million working days were lost to work-related ill health in 2019/20, with stress, anxiety and depression accounting for almost 18 million of these.

Research shows that COVID-19 has forced employee wellbeing more urgently into focus for many organisations. Businesses take a strategic approach and report that senior leaders take it seriously. However, many people continue to work when unwell, even if they are working from home, while many employees even use holiday or sick leave to work.

The adverse impact of the pandemic on many people’s mental wellbeing means that employers will increasingly need to take effective steps to manage the main risks of stress and mental ill health among their workforces.

Employers have a fundamental duty of care for the physical and mental health and wellbeing of their workers. However, research shows that despite more organisations stepping up their efforts, half still don’t have a standalone wellbeing strategy.

A focus on employee health and wellbeing should be a core element of any HR strategy and central to the way an organisation operates. It should not simply consist of one-off initiatives.

As well as benefiting employees, an integrated approach to wellbeing can increase employee engagement, fostering a joint commitment to organisational success.

In line with wider evidence, research shows that the main risks to employee health are now psychological, with mental ill health and stress being two of the top three causes of long-term absences.

At JD Training we would be delighted to work with you to develop your Wellbeing strategy and to deliver practical and effective Wellbeing training for your organisation.
