This blog’s main aim is to get people with responsibility for workplace health talking to each other and collaborating, as our millions of enthusiastic readers know. In keeping with that, here are two opportunities to win an award for delivering good workplace health services in 2008 and they are both free to enter.
The latest opportunity is a new category in the Personnel Today Awards, the Award for Health at Work. If you’ve been to this event before you’ll know it is quite a bash, so well worth getting on the shortlist. You’ve only got a month left to enter so get to work on your entries now. I know for a fact that there are lots of you doing innovative things who can demonstrate the benefits for staff and the organisation alike.
Secondly, whether you are in HR, occupational health or any other area with responsibility for the health of the workforce you should enter the Occupational Health Awards, now in their second year and fast becoming an industry standard. The categories are:
- Collaboration in Occupational Health
- Mental Health and Stress Management
- Absence Management
- Innovation in Occupational Health
- Health Promotion and Wellbeing
- Vocational Rehabilitation
Better still, there is no rule that bars you from entering both awards, doubling your chance of coming away with a trophy.
