Supporting staff with effective health and wellbeing initiatives

Transparency and Control: The web-based industry-leading platform provides the mechanism for schools to achieve full vetting and assessment of candidates.
Increased Compliance: The rigorous audit process ensures all agencies go above and beyond trade association standards.
Simplified Administration: The indirect costs and time savings derived from processing hundreds of timesheets and invoices per month are eradicated and replaced with one clear invoice per week.
Cost Savings: The Supply Register’s approach reduces costs by up to 20% by building localised ‘talent banks’ of staff that are remunerated in line with recognised pay scales, elimination of finder’s fee and standardising charge rates from supplying agencies.

Supporting staff with effective health and wellbeing initiativesOver the last two years schools, academies and multi-academy trusts have placed an increased focus on employee health and wellbeing in recognition of the additional challenges staff are facing such as covid-19 and staff shortages.In response to these challenges, some schools have invested in health and wellbeing initiatives as a means of offering support to staff. Examples include training for mental health first aiders and providing access to employee assistance programmes including access to counselling.No one can deny that investing in health and wellbeing is a positive step, but how do you know if the initiatives have been effective, good value for money, and are improving staff health and wellbeing?Peter Drucker, management thinker, is often quoted as saying that “you can't manage what you can't measure.” In this he means that you can't know whether or not you are successful unless success is defined and tracked.Measuring wellbeingIf you’re a school that has introduced new health and wellbeing initiatives, have you thought about how you will measure the impact? Ask yourself:

Is your health and wellbeing strategy effective?

How do you know if it’s effective?

Could you do better?

Could you provide more relevant means of support?

What does success look like?
