EHS Congress – ‘Too much strategy in wellbeing approach?’
Chairing a session at the EHS Congress, Andrew Sharman said an approach to wellbeing goes beyond analysis.
In a panel debate around frontline safety leadership, Sharman explained, “There’s a lot of talk about mental health but I’m worried we’re missing an important aspect as we strategise around it but fail to connect on a person-to-person level.”
He shared concern around asking people how they are; that the gesture today is now a hollow one and has lost impact. “We ask people how they are but we don’t understand how they’re doing. We should ask the question twice.”
The response was prompted following a question from Sue Parker Tantush, former Health and safety Director at Co-Op, who, sitting in the audience asked the panel how wellbeing is being used in their safety programmes.
