Stage 4 - Ongoing Evaluation & Review of the Programme

It is recognised that robust evaluation and review methods must be embedded into the Health and Wellbeing Programme to allow us, at any given point, to fully assess and display the impact of the overall Health and Wellbeing Programme against its objectives and to determine the efficacy of the programme and its many parts.

As a People and Development department we are currently advancing work in this area at pace. The release of the People Strategy in the coming months will provide us with key organisational outcomes which will not only provide health and wellbeing with a focus but enable us to overlay health and wellbeing outcomes with other organisational areas. Alongside this outcomes focus will be the development of in-depth metrics and performances measures. We are currently reviewing the data we hold and how this can be utilised within a People & Development performance dashboard. This dashboard will enable us to link our HWB data sets with organisational data sets such as absence and psychological absence. Our aim is to connect organisational factors (promotion, grievance, duty modifications) with HWB support and interventions, identifying trends and where the true impact lies. An example of some of the data sets we are developing alongside the outlined action plans is provided in the report.
