Investing in Health and Wellbeing
This strategy sets out our ambition to strengthen and develop our commitment to a healthy and effective working environment and supporting staff health and wellbeing. This will require further investment in staff time and resources to provide support and training that our workforce can access.
Learning and Education
We will develop a range of information resources and e-learning modules to support health and wellbeing as described in this strategy.
We will ensure resources are available to develop training courses, including access to specialist skills and experts where appropriate.
Support and Training
This strategy will require training for individuals, managers and staff across a wide range of health and wellbeing topics.
This will require additional resource to deliver training, including specialist skills some of which may not be currently available within the organisation. This additional resource will also be required to deliver additional facilitation and support for staff, teams and managers, including occupational health support.
Options for delivering health and wellbeing training and support will be explored including:
- Additional job roles or posts within the organisation.
- Working with other NHS Boards to jointly provide services and support.
- Working with other organisations, including the third sector, to provide additional services and support.
Staff time
NHS Golden Jubilee recognises the importance of making time and space for the development and support of our workforce, including time in the workplace to focus on health and wellbeing.
Delivering training and support differently, for example through team-based training, can enable staff to engage in the training, development and support described in this strategy.
We must continue to prioritise the health and well-being of staff in a busy working environment.
Healthy workplace
Our built environment has an impact on health and wellbeing and we will explore ways of developing our hospital to have a positive impact through the design of working and rest areas. We are also fortunate to have green space surrounding the hospital and Centre for Health and Wellbeing within the hotel.
