With the government recently announcing plans to give employers
a leading role in improving the health of working-age people,
Business Link has launched an online tool to help local businesses
discover what effective steps they can take to adopt successful
absence management and workplace wellbeing policies.
Business Link's Workplace Well-being tool is a resource designed
to help local businesses understand the specific health and
well-being issues within their own organisation and looks at how
to:
• measure the cost of poor health and well-being
• compare absenteeism and turnover rate against those of
other organisations
• introduce practical ideas that help reduce health and
well-being costs
• estimate the costs and benefits of investing in
well-being
Stephen Smith, Chief Executive of EMB Ltd, the organisation
responsible for local delivery of the Business Link service says:
"If you're looking to implement a new workplace well-being project,
our powerful diagnostic tool can help you build an informed
business case for future implementation.
Business Link can also provide tailored guidance and
best-practice ideas to help improve your existing procedures."
