Guidance

on promoting health and wellbeing at work IOSH publishes a range of free technical guidance. Our guidance literature is designed to support and inform members and motivate and influence health and safety stakeholders. Working well – guidance on promoting health and wellbeing at work The aim of this guide is to promote a holistic, proactive approach to managing health and wellbeing issues at work. It also aims to encourage occupational safety and health practitioners to work with others, particularly occupational health and human resources specialists, to improve employees ’ work performance and reduce sickness absence through:- identifying and addressing the causes of workplace injury and ill health, as required by health and safety law- addressing the impact of health on the capacity of employees to work, eg support those with disabilities and health conditions, and rehabilitation- promoting healthier lifestyles and therefore making a positive impact on the general health of the workforce. It’s not the intention of this guide to provide in-depth guidance or advice on specific health issues. The guide refers to UK law, statistics and examples. Readers from outside the UK who want to apply its findings should be aware of possible differences and may need to use data from their own countries.
