Use of, and Reflections to, the Performance Audit
Discussing Relationships and Non-work Issues at Work
Delivery and Format of Future Health and Wellbeing Content
Matching ‘Relational Capital’ to Delivery Mechanisms

4. Phase II – Diagnostic Tool
Aim:
‘to identify the gap between any policy or espoused commitment stated in an organisation linking the skills and knowledge required to effectively manage relationships in a way that translates directly between home and work and visa versa (both positively and negatively) and the actual reality experienced by individual employees’

5. Disconnects / Challenges and Opportunities
Clear understanding from HRD’s that this is important ….
Limited links via company policies, existing support seen as a reactive measure
Mixed views from focus group members – both ends of the spectrum of expectations from their employer and in the workplace
Welfare verses Wellbeing?
Embedding rather than stand-alone is critical to company involvement
‘Green Field Site’ when it comes to pro-active support!
