How can you tell how healthy your workplace is? Acas believes that there are six indicators of a healthy workplace
The six indicators of a healthy workplace
1. Line managers are confident and trained in people skills 2. Employees feel valued and involved in the organisation 3. Managers use appropriate health services (eg occupational health where practicable) to tackle absence and help people to get back to work
4. managers promote an attendance culture by conducting return to work discussions (for more information on this subject see the Acas guide Managing attendance and employee turnover, available at www. acas. org. uk/publications) 5. Jobs are flexible and well-designed
6. Managers know how to manage common health problems such as mental health and musculoskeletal disorders. Don’t worry if you can’t ‘tick’ all the boxes in this list – it does not mean you have an unhealthy workplace. These are guideline principles and you must decide what works best for you. For example, while larger organisations may offer formal training in people skills, smaller businesses might rely on mentoring or briefing from managers.

To meet the regulation, providers must provide sufficient numbers of suitably qualified, competent, skilled and experienced staff to meet the needs of the people using the service at all times and the other regulatory requirements set out in this part of the above regulations. Staff must receive the support, training, professional development, supervision and appraisals that are necessary for them to carry out their role and responsibilities. They should be supported to obtain further qualifications and provide evidence, where required, to the appropriate regulator to show that they meet the professional standards needed to continue to practise.
