Development of an innovative wellbeing metric

NEF Consulting worked with the Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust to develop an innovative wellbeing metric to measure the health and wellbeing of their staff. The metric follows NEF’s National Accounts of Wellbeing methodology.

The metric is being used by the Trust in an annual report on its sustainable healthcare strategy, Care Without Carbon.

The Trust’s 2020 objectives for staff, as a result of using this metric, include:

Bespoke staff support packages based on identified needs at each Trust location and for different age groups.
Toolkits for staff to manage stress at work more proactively.
Launch of a new Dare Challenge – Sugar Smart – to promote healthier eating at the Trust.

You can read more about the Trust’s strategy on the website at carewithoutcarbon.org

NEF aims to create a new economy that works for people and within environmental limits. We are guided by three missions:

A new social settlement
To ensure people are paid well, have more time off to spend with their families, and have access to the things we all need for a decent life.

A Green New Deal
A plan for government-led investment to reduce the carbon we emit and boost nature, while creating a new generation of jobs.

The democratic economy
To devolve state power and transform ownership of the economy to give everyone an equal stake in the places where we live and work.
