University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, Midlands, Acute
The finance and procurement directorate needed to ensure that all members of the team had the opportunity to develop and maintain good mental / physical health and well-being. Supporting the well-being of staff should be the commitment of any responsible employer to avoid staff experiencing long term health conditions, to prevent individuals from disengaging with our aims and objectives and, potentially, even leaving the organisation.
How might we promote and prioritise the mental and physical well-being of all members on the finance and procurement directorate team in a sustainable and inclusive manner? This challenge seeks to explore innovative and effective ways to support the holistic health and wellness of team members to prevent long-term illnesses, maintain staff engagement and reduce attrition rates within the organisation.
The monthly café will continue, all members of the directorate are invited and are able to contribute at a level they are comfortable with. Attendance has been high, and we have had strong engagement with the wider team. As well as the café, the addition of the newsletter means that the content of the café is shared with the whole directorate to ensure staff have access to links and information they may find useful.
