About this event

What are the economic benefits of ensuring the health and wellbeing of the workforce in Wales? What interventions are effective and cost-effective in relation to workplace health?  And what support do smaller employers need to implement wellbeing interventions and approaches?

Chaired by Mary-Ann McKibben, Consultant-lead for Healthy Working Wales (Public Health Wales), this webinar will hear from academics who have undertaken research and evaluation to understand what works in relation to workplace health approaches.

Professor Rhiannon Tudor Edwards, lead author of the ‘Wellness in Work’ economic evidence review (Health and Care Research Wales Evidence Centre/ Bangor University), will provide insights into the findings and discuss the types of interventions likely to be most cost-effective in improving wellbeing at work.

Nigel Lloyd (NIHR-funded PHIRST Connect team based at the University of Hertfordshire) will outline the findings of an evaluation of workplace health and wellbeing support in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Walsall, in particular focusing on the main barriers identified to SME engagement and action and how they might be addressed.
