“These principles ensure companies can maximise the productivity of their workforce by reducing the costs of ill health. We work with more than 1,600 employers, providing more than 50,000 health assessments last year to workers across the country.”

The framework includes seven steps:

Strategic Assessment – Assess the current and projected situation with regard to employee wellbeing, both inside and outside the company

Strategic Leadership – Identify the individuals and teams that are required to achieve impact in this area

Strategic Priorities – Establish the priorities and develop the overarching strategy for employee wellbeing

Strategic Design – Design the optimal wellbeing programme or interventions given available resources

Strategic Management – communicate and manage the suite of offerings

Strategic Monitoring and Evaluation – Monitor results and measure impact to ensure success
