Being the best employer

Our staff are the best advert for attracting our future workforce

By developing ourselves as model employers and engaging with the public to encourage careers in the NHS we can work to become the preferred employer.

Model employer

Pathology staff member

Helping patients get better motivates us all - no matter what our role we are all there working towards a common goal.  However, underpinning that motivation we need employers committed to providing support and advice to their staff and who recognise the importance and benefits of a happy, healthy and motivated workforce – in short we should all be able to rely on model north east NHS employers.

To contribute to the model employer aspiration we have created a regional attendance management and health and wellbeing strategy.

 

Within this we will focus on:
  • Improving attendance management recording

  • Developing a reporting mechanism for organisations in attendance management

  • Sharing best practice in attendance management through the HR directors’ network

  •  Producing a workforce development plan to deliver our North East health strategy

  • Undertaking a mapping exercise of current occupational health service provision

  • Supporting ‘back to work’ schemes for health employees

  • Supporting the Government Office for the North East Health and Wellbeing Group
