Shifting the dial on work as a health outcome for the benefit of Work, Health, and Skills (webinar – 19 November 2024)
We held a webinar on 19 November 2024 to consider the above topic.
Chaired by Dr. Steve Boorman, the chair of the Council for Work and Health, the panel included Julie Denning PhD, Chartered Health Psychologist (VRA), Nicola Neath (BACP), and Janet O’Neill (NSOH) (NSOH).
It was a fascinating conversation and included the following subjects:
- Rehabilitation and the work agenda
- Improving Workplace Culture and Health
- Improving Workplace Management and support
- Addressing Mental Health and return to work practices
- Breaking silos in healthcare support
- Balancing work and health for successful return to work programmes
- Benefits system and mental health.
The key question we all addressed here is “what’s needs to be different this time round, when work as a health outcome is back on the national agenda?”
I am pleased to provide you with a link to the recording and Comments and Links from Zoom Chat added to the chat box during our webinar. There are many links shared today which may also be of interest.
Recording is here.
As you can imagine, there will be a lot more conversation to be had in this space, particularly as the Joint Health and Work Unit launch their ‘Round Table’ event in early 2025, which we will be chairing and we look forward to continuing the conversation further, in this platform and on others. We will keep our council members informed of all events and dates as they are confirmed.
Please do share our webinar from today within your networks where you feel the conversation is relevant.
