Stage 2 - Develop & Prioritise Health & Wellbeing Programme Options
The insights gathered have enabled us to further define what health and wellbeing means to our people, with some priority areas emerging which provide us with a strategic focus and act as the foundations of a Health and Wellbeing Framework, more info on the priority areas is provided below.
HEALTH AND WELLBEING PRIORITY AREAS
• Bring the health & wellbeing of our people to the top of the organisation’s agenda.
• Develop a coordinated national approach to health and wellbeing, which is robust and driven by investment.
• Proactive engagement of our people in an ongoing health and wellbeing conversation through listening and understanding the need.
• Recognising the significant pressures on our people and develop the support of our people enabling them to achieve a better work / life balance.
• Adopt a person-centred approach to all support pathways and programmes i.e. EAP, OH, TRiM, Wellbeing Champions.
• Prevention to become a primary focus.
• Reduce the stigma which still exists around health and wellbeing, particularly mental health and the seeking of support.
• Development and training of all officers and staff, with a specific focus on those in line management, senior ranks and probationers.
• Recognise the importance and role of peer support amongst our people.
HEALTH AND WELLBEING FRAMEWORK MODEL
The Health and Wellbeing Framework has been developed to encapsulate the emerging priority areas and the shift in focus and approach to health and wellbeing. The framework is driven by our core aim which is to support our people through a positive working environment enabling them to serve the public. The proactive, preventative and person-centred approach intends to understand and consider what our people are experiencing both inside and outside of work. Recognising the impact of significant moments on people’s lives and providing ‘fit for purpose’ tools and support which empowers and enables our people to take positive action in relation to their health and wellbeing
