IOSH Managing Occupational Health & Wellbeing

Managing occupational health and wellbeing has increasingly become a strategic consideration for many businesses, bringing with it the need to focus on both what they do and how they do it. According to the IOSH report ‘The Healthy Profit’, sickness absence due to mental ill health alone costs the UK economy more than £8bn per year.

An organisation that is healthy and well is more likely to be productive, innovative and competitive.

This course explores the various types of work-related and non-work-related illness and how these can have an impact on work. Recognising that managing occupational health needs a collaborative approach, it looks at how to obtain expert help and understand the different kinds of assistance that are available to an organisation – internally and externally.

Practical and engaging, this course is aimed at managers and supervisors working in any sector, in any organisation, within a role of responsibility for managing risk. It provides practical advice and tools to help create a healthy and productive place of work.
