NICE have published a guideline 'Workplace policy and management practices to improve the health and wellbeing of employees' which makes recommendations on improving the health and wellbeing of employees, with a particular focus on organisational culture and context, and the role of line managers. The aim is to: (i) promote leadership that supports the health and wellbeing of employees and help line managers to achieve this; (ii) explore the positive and negative effect an organisation's culture can have on people's health and wellbeing; and (iii) provide a business case and economic modelling for strengthening the role of line managers in ensuring the health and wellbeing of employees. The guideline has been produced for employers, senior leadership, managers and employees, with a particular focus on human resources and occupational health management.
