This new SOM guide to buying wellbeing products or services, launched today as part of Occupational Health Awareness Week, aims to provide occupational health (OH) professionals, and those responsible for purchasing wellbeing products or services, with evidence-based frameworks to make informed and effective decisions and make sure there are no unintended consequences for your workers.
In this guide we cover:
- the importance of choosing the right wellbeing interventions and avoiding non-evidence-based, potentially harmful, solutions
- evidence-based frameworks to help identify gaps in provision to inform purchasing needs
- the role of OH services in providing support and advice on improving work environments and cultures
- 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
- ongoing monitoring of impact and evaluation of wellbeing interventions to confirm they are achieving the desired outcomes.
