What are my core shared
values for work in my team?

team?
• How do you live those values every
day?
• Is there anything you want to focus
on more as a team?
Benefits• Investing in employee wellness leads to organisational
cost savings – (PriceWaterhouseCooper, 2008)
• Improving psychological and physical wellbeing of
employees increases engagement – (Business in the
Community, 2010)
• Resilience at organisational level, collectively, can enable
workforce to adjust its processes and culture to adapt to
adversity and survive – (CIPD, 2011a)
• Resilience at team level combines individual and
organisational resilience to develop a collective sense of
team values and social capital in the face of adversity –
(CIPD, 2011b)
Key Recommendations• Systemic approach
• Consistent management support – promote
material/attendance
• Clear communication about content &
practicalities
• Thorough assessment
• Facilitators intrinsic knowledge of Trust
and gateway for support
• Reliable/valid measure
What is Resilience?• “The capacity to withstand exceptional stresses and
demands without developing stress-related problems” (Carr, 2004)
• “A set of conditions that allow individual adaptation to different forms of adversity at different points in the life course” (Bartley et al., 2006)
• It’s a skill that is learnt over time, not something we are born with.
• It does not mean never experiencing pain or stress
• Resilience develops after learning from difficult events, and working through emotions associated with them
• High levels of sickness absence
• Low levels of reported staff wellbeing
• High levels of stress related absence
• Low levels of physical activity
• High levels of smoking
• High levels of obesity
• Low staff morale

Health Needs Assessment: Shaping the Strategy
How does our strategy support workforce health ?
Key Principles:
1: To provide the environment, conditions and culture to support Workforce Wellbeing
2: To have robust pathways and intervention in place to support a reduction in sickness and absence
3: To offer a wide range of occupational health intervention and support services to promote and support positive wellbeing.
What action have we taken ?
Strategic objective Action
Increase Physical Activity • Promote Physical activity schemes (local gym membership /Cycle scheme etc.)
• Development and Launch of local physical activity Programme #alltogetherfitterNHS
• Development of a physical activity policy
Survey circulated to understand:
• Who would like to attend, how many staff are interested?
• What activities staff would like to take part in?
• Where would staff like to attend?
• When is most suitable for staff to attend?
• How much would they be willing to pay
Physical activity offer- we asked staff what they want?
• Mapping exercise to understand what PA provision is already in place across local Trusts
• Explored opportunity to open existing sessions to employees from neighbouring Trusts
• Where there where gaps, we identified new centres/sites to mobilize new activity classes
• Secured instructors to deliver the sessions
• Advertised free sessions in April to staff across all Trusts
• Staff signed up to the programme using Eventbrite
• Staff completed a questionnaire to ascertain current levels of fitness & Physical exercise activity used as a benchmark
What happened next?
What was available?
• 13 different types of activity
• 50 hours of free classes

#alltogetherfitterNHS Activity Programme
‘I am still continuing to go and have no plans at this point to stop’
I’m still very unfit but I can see improvements every week’
I thought this was a great idea, great variety and some sports I haven't tried!
‘It focused me to become more physically active’ ‘It has given me the motivation to carry on
with exercise’
‘Everyone motivates one another to work harder and there is real camaraderie amongst the group’
‘I have continued to attend even after the taster sessions have finished’
‘Many thanks for starting ‘ladies only’ sessions’
‘Since attending the classes I have noticed an improvement in my fitness’
• 6 NHS Trusts across Merseyside launched a stepper challenge
• 205 LCH staff signed up to the challenge and walked a staggering 12,606,337 steps throughout April
• Approx 1,000 staff across all participating trusts totted up a whopping 40,000,000 step
• 213 unique individuals logged over 41,000,000 steps in 30 days
• 86% staff who registered were classed as inactive
• 90% staff said ‘taking part inspired them to be more active.’
• In LCH, the sickness absence % rate of staff who took part in the ‘Race to Rio’ throughout April was 1.4% against the Trust average of 5.6% The sickness absence percentage was 5.1% for the same staff over the same period in 2015.
In tribute to this years Olympics we did the ‘Race To Rio’
Next steps:
• Present findings local health #alltogetherfitterNHS steering group understand where there have been successes and challenges at a local level
• Understand commonalities between Trust findings & how this impacts on S&A rates across all partaking trusts.
• Triangulate data between the cohort who participated and align with performance dashboards data , ER cases etc –this could further build our business case!
• Present report to Exec/Board with recommendations that future programmes are subsidised/funded by local NHS organisations to sustain improved levels of workforce health
• Recommendation that managers can refer staff into the programme as part of a ‘passport for heath’ initiative which forms part of everyday conversations including Supervision, 1:1, PDR, RTW, Staff meetings, OH appointments etc.
• Circulate an additional survey 6 months after the programme to understand if there is any long term behavioural change.
