Hi Anna,
I run the Occupational Health Practice Course at Robert Gordon
University in Aberdeen and I certainly have content in the curriculum
regarding organisational culture and the effect that can have on the
health of the workforce.

Hi
This document is very interesting and does mark a new direction for
Public
Health in this country. It has businesses and workplaces threaded
throughout
the document and in specific paragraphs. It places a commitment towards
activities that are preventative, focus on wellbeing, self-esteem,
confidence and resilience. It states that it wants to "unleash"
employers
potential as champions of public health, whilst acknowledging that it
does
need to bring real and demonstrable ROI. It states that 70% of the
burden
of long-standing ill-health is due to MSD, MH and circulation. I think
that
this document supports and directs OH professionals to work with
businesses
proactivley to create workpalce cultures that improve the health and
wellbeing, rather than just prevent and manage ill-health. I think it is
about working with employers to engage and unleash the potential in the
workforce by affecting the management behaviour. There is therfore a
need
for OH professionals to look at themselves to consider what can my role
be,
do I need more support/training/guidance to be able to have an affect?
How
many OHAs training included organisational culture and the affects it
has on
the workforce, I am assuming not many, is this something that needs to
be in
the education of future OHAs?
Anna
