The Healthy Workplace and Active Design are the buzz words of the moment. The workplace has a significant impact on people’s health and well-being. Poor management of workplace health can lead to work-related ill health and to high levels of sickness absence. This gives real cause for concern, not least because of the costs involved, the impact on service delivery and the consequences for individual staff. Sickness absence is a key business issue, and it is a key indicator of how well an organisation is managed. In this year’s Spring Summit we looked at this very current subject with best practice recommendations, recent research findings, and informative case studies.
