73business management8220We want to create an environment where people are aware of their own responsibility for their health and safety8221 - Magaret Bowlergation. White Water Strategies takes a more realistic approach, realising that most business leaders do not want a 50/50 work/life balance as such, the firm helps business leaders discover those aspects of life that sustain them. Certainly it is all too easy to take a cynical view of an organisation8217s increasing interest in its employees8217 health. Leimon sees two sides to it, 8220On the one hand there8217s the under-standing that if people are healthy they8217re going to function better. There is also the negative side that people want not to be faced with litigation for stress, for instance. I think there are some places with a growing aware-ness, but there8217s a long way to go.8221At Grant Thornton, Bowler explains her theory behind employ-ers8217 increasing need to demonstrate a duty of care to their employees, 8220I think it reflects society that people want different things from their employer 8211 it8217s a badge of who they are, and they want to work with the organisations that care about the impact they make on people as individuals.8221For now, as long as health schemes offered by organisations are well-man-aged, and feedback from employees is monitored, there is no reason why an increased awareness of managing health and wellbeing in the workplace should not become standard practice among employers. 172NEXT: Green Business >>
