CIPD Ireland welcomes the government’s National Framework for Healthy Workplaces in Ireland. The framework aims to support the growth of effective approaches to enhancing health and wellbeing in the workplace setting. This work forms part of the wider Healthy Ireland agenda.
The framework recognises that changes are needed in the culture, policies and practices in workplaces to deliver improvements in physical and mental health and wellbeing and work-life balance, improving the health of Ireland’s workforce.
It outlines the set of principles to guide implementation:
A key objective is to share good practice, and the framework is accompanied by case studies from Eli Lilly, WALK, Central Statistics Office and ICE, which include companies that have been recognised as finalists or winners in our CIPD Ireland HR Award for Embedding a culture of wellbeing.
The next step is to build an implementation plan to deliver the supports for government, employers and workers. We look forward to engaging with the Department of Health on this. Members interested in this can get in touch at info@cipd.ie
