Common cause of long term sick!

According to a report produced by The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), concerns over job losses has positioned stress as the most common cause of long-term sick leave in Britain. The report highlights the pressures on workers in a deteriorating market and also attributes ever increasing workloads.

Particularly at risk is the Public Sector as more than two-fifths state they will be making redundancies over the next six months. This compared with one in six in the private sector and a quarter of non-profits, stresses the importance and need for wellbeing interventions.

Phil Olding Managing Director of New Leaf Health Ltd stated “Stress at work is a major concern. According to the HSE an estimated 415 000 individuals, who worked in the last year, believed that they were experiencing work-related stress to a point which was making them ill. Dealing with stress in a positive manner can reduce illness such as anxiety, depression, high blood pressure and facilitate healthier lifestyles.

We help companies to identify the prevalence of stress and other health risk areas within their employee population and organisational structures, attribute a cost, and develop a wellbeing strategy to address the issues. The services we provide are based on health education and behaviour change models.”

The CIPD has praised many workplaces for increasing their wellbeing focus despite tighter budgets, but urges employers to do more to reassure their staff.

Workplace Wellbeing Provider New Leaf Health has collected evidence on the usage of their workplace wellbeing campaigns.  Launched in July, the online platform namely ‘Off the Shelf’ Health hosts a series of downloadable resources and a Learning Centre aimed at engaging Champions on a central network.

The UK company mostly known for supplying wellbeing events and online HRA’s, firstly held a series of dial-in training sessions with up to 20 Champions.  The Champions were then able to access the site and download activity based information sheets, and posters specifically aimed at challenging lifestyle behaviours.  Over a 2 month period online traffic was monitored in order to assess which campaigns were being delivered and the amount of time spent utilising the network features.  At the end of the initial review individual users were on average downloading up to 16 campaign resources each, which consisted of training documents, posters, templates, and activity based information sheets.  Of the 6 health topics, physical activity and nutrition proved most popular, with a stair climbing campaign topping the bill.

Time spent accessing the network which contains Success Stories, Frequently Asked Questions, Cases Studies and Wellbeing News, equated to 22% of the total time logged in.

Phil Olding, Managing Director stated, “Price Waterhouse Cooper’s ‘Building the case for Wellness’ supports the role of workplace health champions, and adds that a wellness champion will help increase employee engagement in wellness programmes. According to Professor Richard Parish, Chief Executive of the Royal Institute of Public Health, ‘an estimated 60% of our waking lives are spent in the workplace. For this reason it is here we need health champions to promote healthy lifestyles.”

Construction took 12 months in total; however the site is to be continually updated with daily industry news and 12 new campaigns each year.  Based on health education models the resources are easy to access and simple to implement, costing from £2,000 for a 12 month license.
