HRreview has embarked on another of it’s popular focus week’s on the key HR issues affecting practitioners across the UK. This week we turn our attention to the state of workplace wellbeing and stress.
Our latest special edition focuses on the innovations, trends and challenges facing human resources and occupational health practitioners in implementing wellbeing initiatives and programmes in organisations in 2015.
Whilst there is now a common understanding within HR of the value that wellness programmes can add in relation to employee engagement, employer brand and productivity, the challenge of demonstrating return on investment and obtaining that buy-in at board or senior decison maker level remains.
Furthermore, organisations across the UK and globally continue to find new ways of supporting their employees mental and physical health. We have commissioned articles from some of the country’s leading and most innovative practitioners on organisational wellbeing and will be bring you wellbeing news, analysis, polls, opinion and resources from our HR Shop and our partners for this special edition, leading HR conference and training provider Symposium.
