Health and Wellbeing Action Plan
The framework provides a foundation for our approach, but we must also consider the strategic aspects of the programme particularly linked to our People Strategy. The health and wellbeing programme action plan is driven by the People Strategy objectives and commitments which lead to the more specific health and wellbeing goals, which again are informed by the review and evaluation insights. These include:
• Improve workforce Mental Health and suicide prevention.
• Set strategic direction for health and wellbeing which is equitable, evidence informed and evaluated.
• Continuous improvement of the delivery and effectiveness of health and wellbeing services and corporate functions.
• Develop a workforce who prioritise health and wellbeing.
These goals enable us to be more centred on impact and effectiveness as well as reporting against indicators and measures in this space. Areas and tools we will focus on when considering the impact and effectiveness of the programme include:
• HWB Programme audit and benchmarking - against an independent set of standards, which have been tailored to meet the specialist needs of emergency services officers and staff. This could consider areas such as leadership, absence management, creating the environment, mental health, protecting the workforce, occupational health, and personal resilience.
• Organisational and area specific subjective health and wellbeing status i.e. Your Voice Matter and Pulse Survey through use of WHO 5 (World Health Organisation) assessment tool.
• Health and wellbeing outcomes pre and post support, intervention, training i.e. Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model for training which considers 4 levels of reaction, learning, behaviour and results.
• Programme utilisation and uptake.
• Communication and awareness.
Ultimately our aim is to outline a programme which allows us to continually develop our understanding of the needs our people, how their health and wellbeing is impacted and provide ‘fit for purpose’ tools and support which empowers and enables our people to take positive action (prevent, mitigate and undo) in relation to their health and wellbeing.
