Case Study: Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust improves staff wellbeing with NHS Employers

Health and wellbeing as part of the reward offer

The customer, Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, sought to effectively communicate its full reward offer to support staff wellbeing and improve recruitment and retention. They partnered with the vendor, NHS Employers, to embed health and wellbeing initiatives strategically into their HR processes.

NHS Employers helped the trust implement a robust health and wellbeing model, which included awareness campaigns, targeted support, and a range of initiatives like meditation and sleep improvement apps. This solution, championed by NHS Employers, delivered significant results: over 1,800 staff accessed a sleep app, leading 199 to sign up for therapy, and musculoskeletal-related absences were reduced by 31%. Staff survey scores also showed high levels of satisfaction with the organisation's action on wellbeing.
