Business Action on Health
Since the launch of the campaign in October 2008, health and wellbeing
has become increasingly important, not only as part of the HR and corporate
social responsibility agendas, but as a core business issue. The Business Action on Health campaign
recognises that ‘good work is good for health’ and that, by investing in
employee wellbeing, the result will be employee engagement. By investing in the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of our
people, we are more likely to achieve true employee engagement and reap the
benefits (as employers) that this brings to our business.
The first year culminated in the Prosper through People conference.
Business in the Community Northern Ireland has
developed a simple four step model to help any employer implement a successful
health and wellbeing strategy.
