The more thoroughly this preparation is undertaken, the easier it is to deal with events when the vacancy actually arises — when an employee hands in their resignation or an expansion plan is agreed and extra employees need to be recruited. There is very little ‘theory’ involved at this point. Practical administrative experience is the greatest requirement.

These factors are important and it is crucial to recognize that what goes on at work is not the only thing that influences PWB at work. It is equally important to recognize that what actually goes on at work is generally the most important factor in how people feel at work. Work-related factors are the most important contributors to PWB at work partly because they have a direct impact on PWB but also because it is easier for organizations to change and improve work-related factors. Improving someone’s relationships with members of their family is not something that an organization might normally expect to be able to do — but improving relationships with someone’s manager or colleagues is a different matter.

Working with business wellbeing experts, Robertson Cooper, they were able to inform their 10-year strategy, Everyone Fit for the Future, and design a data-driven approach that connects their employee wellbeing to significant productivity gains. Although they were already taking steps to ensure employee safety, Network Rail were committed to broadening their focus to prioritise employee health in terms of resilience and physical and emotional wellbeing. This, coupled with a unique approach to promoting a sense of personal responsibility amongst the workforce through the development of a personalised wellbeing report, characterised a fresh approach to improving employee health and safety. Partnering with the wellbeing experts to achieve their ambitious goals, they developed a pioneering approach to measuring employee health. Starting with their employees, they focused on creating motivation and interest in wellbeing and its connection with performance and engagement.
