Background
This paper presents an update against the Health and Wellbeing (HWB) action plan (Appendix 1) as approved by the People Committee in November 2024.
Health and Wellbeing Programme Approach
The HWB action plan takes a proactive, preventative and person-centred approach towards the health and wellbeing of our workforce. The approach intends to understand and consider the needs of our people, ensuring that we don’t only engage with our people in reaction to a wellbeing issue (undo), but that we make an impact in terms of prevention and mitigation of factors.
Dependencies & Achievability
We continue to recognise that there are several dependencies that we need to consider ensuring that the plan is both realistic and achievable. We continue to work with colleagues across People & Development and the wider organisation to consider and plan accordingly. Dependencies include:
• A People and Development restructure; the consultation concluded in December 2024 and counter proposals and feedback is now being considered.
• Force-wide and senior leadership support and engagement with the programme.
• Force-wide engagement with and delivery of plan.
• HWB team resources and expertise in place to undertake the plan.
• Specific financial support if it is felt external expertise is needed to progress i.e. recent independent review of health and wellbeing conducted by external organisation, Thrivewise.
