WISE-QM is a new joint initiative between SOM and the Royal College of Psychiatrists (RCPsych). Together, we are committed to shaping a more transparent, consistent, and effective wellbeing landscape across workplaces.
WISE-QM is a sector wide quality mark designed to recognise, strengthen, and standardise the provision of workplace wellbeing services. This is important to assist buyers to make effective choices based on evidence, following this report.
The quality mark will help occupational health (OH) professionals, and those responsible for purchasing wellbeing products or services, with a signal of who is providing an evidence-based framework. This will help them make informed and effective decisions and ensure there are no unintended consequences for workers.
The quality mark should reduce the challenges posed by the increasing number of digital health solutions, such as insufficient evidence of effectiveness, data security issues, and ensuring access and engagement. It will also ensure ongoing monitoring of impact and evaluation of wellbeing interventions to confirm they are achieving the desired outcomes.
It provides a trusted benchmark for excellence, ensuring that organisations and employees receive support that is high quality, evidence informed, and genuinely impactful.
There is an online joining form for service providers to register their interest. Please pass onto wellbeing service providers that you work with.
