With current NHS workforce challenges, retaining talent is more crucial than ever. The Alliance’s new Occupational Health framework RM6386 has been designed and developed specifically for these NHS challenges. It allows trusts to access service providers that can support a workplace where staff feel cared for and have access to health and wellbeing support services, helping reduce absenteeism, boost productivity, and lead to longer term commitment.
Six benefits of utilising the Occupational Health framework
- More than just workplace safety: While occupational health is often associated with workplace safety and compliance, the framework provides access to a much wider range of services such as physiotherapy, health screening, counselling, coaching and vaccination services.
- Valued from day one: Integrate services into your onboarding process such as essential health checks, vaccinations, and tailored advice on workplace adjustments.
- Diversity: Avoid one-size-fits-all by undertaking diverse workplace assessments for example, to support those with dyslexia or autism, and ensuring appropriate adjustments are made.
- Accessing mental health resources: Provide staff with access to mental health support such as counselling and coaching services.
- Identify areas for improvement: Undertake assessments that identify areas of improvement and ensure appropriate measures are tailored for different roles and environments.
- Early detection and prevention: Detect early signs of illness or injury by offering preventive services, for example, blood tests and health screening for workers.
