The average level of absence in the UK is eight days per employee per year, so it's no surprise that nine out of ten HR managers identify employee absence as a significant cost to their organisation, especially when that cost amounts annually to a calculated average of GBP600 per member of staff. Research now shows there is a clear need to recognise how the health and well-being of employees are interconnected with performance. Up-to-date and reliable information about maintaining and improving employee health is vital to increasing job satisfaction and improving your business performance.Now the CIPD has developed a Well-being and Performance subscription resource that helps you do this.
It is the first such resource to bring together the three topical areas of: absence and attendance - measuring and reporting, exploring the causes, annual leave, maternity, paternity, chronic illness, flexible working, and much more; stress and well-being - workplace stress, stress management, legislative duties, bullying, harassment, sample policies, and much more; occupational health; the duty of care, medical assessment, common illnesses, disability adjustments and rehabilitation, and much more.What can Well-being and Performance do for you and your organisation? "Well-being and Performance" guides you through the key stages of tackling absenteeism and stress at work, starting with the identification of problem areas and the assessment of their impact on your business, and takes you from building a business case and obtaining top-level investment in new well-being initiatives, to implementing the ideas in a practical setting and evaluating their success.
The content is backed up throughout by the latest legal and compliance advice from leading experts, and a wide range of case studies from both public and private sector organisations, demonstrating how to make well-being initiatives a success.
