Health work and wellbeing - Developing and implementing a strategy A healthy healthcare workforce is a more productive workforce. Adopting a strategic approach to the physical and mental health and wellbeing of staff has been shown to be an important factor in achieving sustained business benefits.

This will have a positive effect on many things including performance, retention of skills, and most importantly, patient care.

‘In England, stress is believed to account for over 30 per cent of sickness absence in the NHS, costing the service £300-400 million per year and this trend can also be seen elsewhere in the world.’
organisations have reduced their sickness absence, how health and wellbeing programmes are having an impact, and how they are being measured. The lessons learned from these studies can be applied both at home and abroad.
Seven steps to effective management NHS Employers’ seven step guide has been designed to help managers to be more effective. Supporting and empowering individual employees will strengthen the whole team - and therefore the business as a whole. The guide suggests simple ways to manage teams more effectively.
Managers’ guides to health work and wellbeing A range of information and guidance has been produced for managers of healthcare services and staff. Managers cannot directly influence all the factors which have an impact on the health of their staff, but creating a positive environment in which employees feel able to discuss some of these issues has been shown to help. In England, stress is believed to account for
over 30 per cent of sickness absence in the NHS, costing the service £300-400 million per year and this trend can also be seen elsewhere in the world. Guidance on prevention and management of stress at work aims to help managers reduce stress in the workplace and better support staff who experience it. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) account for
around 40 per cent of sickness absence in the NHS. We offer information and support for line managers of staff with MSDs.
Sickness absence guide and calculator How sickness and absence is managed can affect its length , and future absences, which of course, affects the business and patients. NHS Employers has designed an interactive online guide to help managers who, at some point, need to deal with staff sickness. The sickness absence calculator is a very useful tool that helps managers to identify how much sickness is costing their organisation.
