them to be their best selves both in and out of work.” Worsnop goes as far as to say that health and wellbeing is becoming one of the most important areas in attracting and retaining employees. He explains: “The cost of recruitment is high and organisations want to ensure they attract the best employees and retain and develop them. Having a strategy and showing commitment across all areas and levels of the university shows that we take staff wellbeing seriously. “By showing the variety of free wellbeing activities on offer, as well as our online portal, Juice, which has wellbeing articles and information, I hope we show employees and potential employees that we are committed to the health and wellbeing of all our staff.” As with just about every area of business, technology is having huge impact on workplace health, and innovations are increasing engagement
and making services more accessible to employees than ever. The Global Benefits Attitudes Survey showed that one in two employees use technology to manage their health, so online tools are critical in helping workers of all ages make decisions about healthcare choices in a complex market. Nuffield Health, for example, has recently launched a new online digital platform – PATH (personalised assessment for tailored health) – which uses historic and real-time health data to understand physical and mental wellbeing, allowing employers to provide a more tailored offering to reduce absenteeism and increase productivity. Dr Davina Deniszczyc, charity director and medical director at Nuffield Health, explains: “PATH uses a number of evidence-based mathematical algorithms to determine a person’s risk factors and generate a completely tailored assessment for them. The data collected can then be used to drive an organisation’s wellbeing
strategy for the future, increasing the success rate and return on investment.” Nuffield also offers virtual general practitioner services, which allow employees to get advice and treatment via secure online video or phone consultations anywhere and anytime. Alberts believes there is much more to come in a constantly evolving landscape. “Technology as an enabler of health and wellbeing is exciting,” he says. “We’re only just starting to see the possibilities, be that a doctor in your pocket, or a meditation app that helps you improve your mental fitness, or an activity tracker that brings the amount of movement you do into your consciousness. “Engaging with these technologies can be powerful to help us stay in good shape, and proactively access support as soon as we need it.” It seems there is an abundance of methods and tools for improving and maintaining the health of the workforce, and the benefits to both employees and the organisation are clear. So, if a company claims to care about the wellbeing of its staff, it is time to do something that really makes a difference. n
