Hi
Find out what are the business priorities with regards their employees; as
these differ greatly between businesses. I am working with a business that
has grown exponentially and will be growing further; their priority is
employee psychological health and ensuring that they manage the pressure
appropriately to promote engagement and prevent illness. This is unusual.
Other businesses it will be more about health protection - surveillance and
associated programmes and others about managing ill health and sadly others
it is about protecting themselves from litigation from ill health and
capability.
A great report for employee engagement and psychological wellbeing is the
MacLeod report. I also like The Business in the Community model for
wellbeing.
Good luck
Anna

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] justification for increasing occ health hours
Hi , elders and wise ones, i am an OH nurse working 3 days a week in a large
manufacturing plant, there's lots of work to fill my day at present and i
find i do screening, HR reports on those absent from work, work station
assessments etc but i feel and my Health and Safety manager agrees that
there is sufficient work for full time work. I have spoken to the HR dept
and they agree so i have been asked to develop a business plan to justify
the increase in hours for myself and the extra cost to the company.
I have no idea where to start, i would like to start b/p clinics on site,
smoking cessation, weight management groups,bring in outside companies and
organisations to discuss mental health/stress issues. I know of a great
local physio who i'm sure could help get employees back to work sooner or
stop them needing to go off.All of these at the moment are things i haven't
got time for but i don't know quite how to demonstrate the business
needs,costs and benefits.
Can anyone enlighten me please
