Managing Health & Well Being – The Boorman Review

The Boorman Review was an independent review on NHS Health and Well-being as part of the Government’s review on the health of the UK’s working age population.
The Review found that on average:

• NHS staff take 10.7 sick days per year
• 9.7 sick days are taken on average across the public sector as a whole
• 6.4 sick days are taken on average for the private sector
• The cost associated to the absences is in the region of £1.7bn per year

This session will focus on the key aspects of learning from the Review, the business case for health and well being at work and and what the learning could mean for your organisation.
