Oil & Gas UK’s breakfast briefing on August 26 will provide an arena for discussing employee health and well-being with three speakers invited to share information about current health statistics and campaigns designed to help people improve their well-being.
The event, sponsored by Petrotechnics, will take place at Aberdeen’s Exhibition and Conference Centre.
Robert Paterson , Oil & Gas UK’s health and safety director, said: “Our industry employs around 450,000 people, both onshore and offshore, so adopting a long-term strategic approach to employee health and well-being is key to ensuring that people and organisations thrive. The process is very much two-way: employers need to embrace the opportunity to enhance the well-being of employees within their existing business processes and objectives and recognise the associated business benefits. Employees too have a key role but must accept that a significant part of achieving a healthy lifestyle is under their own control.”
Ian Russell , managing director of Sodexo, will share the latest industry health statistics and explain the impact they have on the sector, as well as different methods to improve well-being.
David Hainsworth , Total E&P UK’s safety, health, environment, quality and integrity director, will outline three health campaigns his company is implementing to enhance well-being including one initiated by staff on the Alwyn North platform, a healthy eating programme and an international fitness initiative known as the “Global Corporate Challenge”.
Arthur Stewart , knowledge exchange officer at Robert Gordon University’s Institute of Health and Well-being Research, will approach the topic from a UK-wide perspective providing advice and guidance on how to help employees maintain a healthy lifestyle by making better informed health choices. Places at the breakfast can be booked online here.
