Why Health and Wellbeing at Work Event ?

Indicators are...• There is focus on the ‘Health’ bit of H & S, as the

Health & Safety Executive themselves feel this has been somewhat ignored at the expense of ‘Safety’ in the past

• Some stunning Stats. and intelligence gathered (that will be presented later this morning) indicate the need for awareness raising and practical support

Overall Context

• First and foremost this is all about people

• Work colleagues, friends, employers, employees, all people

• No people; no business

• Evidence shows that Tier 1s on Public Sector tenders are now being asked not only about Health & Wellbeing of their own workforce, but also about that of the Supply Chain.....

• ...subsequently buyers from Tier 1s & 2s are now asking the question, and scoring bidders against what practices they have in place to monitor and protect the workforce

SummaryAll businesses need to examine their working practices in relation to this issue as:

• First and foremost this is all about people

• Secondly there is a real commercial opportunity for your business to stand out, and win more business as a result
