Effective health policy

Especially now it is becoming clear how important it is to have a continued focus on health and vitality. This applies to both employers and employees. And that requires new knowledge and insights. Every day we talk to companies about their vision and policy on sustainable employability. Almost all of them consider the health and employability of employees to be very important issues. Yet they are not always satisfied with their results in this area. Budgetary constraints play a role, but the big bottleneck seems to be a lack of insight. For example, it appears that employers often do have one-sided information about employee health (e.g., from PME or satisfaction surveys) but that there is a greater need to convert that data into an effective health policy.

What does it take for an effective health policy?

Many employers and managers find it difficult to understand lifestyle in combination with the physical and mental health and associated risks of employees. The step of making health risks negotiable in the organization is a tricky one.

The bottlenecks to effective health policy

Employers and employees also often differ on the scope and opportunities employers have to promote the health of their workforce. In addition, both parties often have different ideas about the causes of health problems. Consider topics such as informal care, financial situation and work-life balance. It also proves difficult for employers to gain insight into what you can do concretely. Suppose you've had a good discussion with an employee about a health problem, what interventions do you put in place? Because both the employer and employee are often not well-informed about the range and quality of interventions, the right solutions are hardly ever offered.

How we can help

And that is exactly what Simple Check offers! Insight to create an effective health policy. Simple Check works with various validated (by TNO developed) tools and follow-ups to create a policy at the level of employer and employee aimed at sustainable employability. Think of the workshop 'Vital Management', which focuses on conducting a dialogue about health and vitality.

In addition, our -extremely secure and personal- online dashboard offers all employees insight into their physical and mental health. Through insight into the results it becomes clear where the bottlenecks lie and thus the need to work specifically on health and vitality.
