Employee Wellbeing Check
A 1-2-1 personalised session for employees from our experts in the Vocational Rehabilitation Team. Sessions focus on small, achievable lifestyle modifications that can be made to improve wellbeing – both at home and at work.
What is wellbeing?
Wellbeing is not just the absence of ill health, it is the state of being comfortable, healthy and happy in ourselves and our bodies. While many of us are fortunate enough to be confident in what we need to do to maintain our wellbeing, some find it challenging, particularly if we are experiencing additional demands personally and professionally.
The Wellbeing Check from Unum
For those who are finding it difficult to manage their wellbeing, Unum offers employees of our Group Income Protection customers a 1-2-1 telephone Wellbeing Check from our in-house professionals.
Expert guidance
Our in-house team has expertise in areas including occupational therapy and psychology, counselling and nursing.
Self-management techniques
Guidance on how individuals can self-manage their wellbeing is provided, with techniques and approaches they can apply if they struggle again in the future.
Realistic changes
We offer help to form realistic goals to improve work performance, mood, energy and productivity.
How does it work?
During the session, one of our expert team will consider all aspects of the employee’s wellbeing — mental, physical and social — and provide them with a report with recommendations to help them get connected with the right tools and resources to improve and maintain wellbeing.
Overall, the Wellbeing Check can proactively support wellbeing so that employees can thrive in the workplace and at home.
Who is the wellbeing check for?
Wellbeing Checks are for employees experiencing one or more of the following:
- Still working (if off sick then Unum's absence management services may be able to support).
- Living with a long-term condition but not struggling with that condition at the time (support for long-term conditions is available from Unum via our absence management services).
- Seeing a noticeable change to their wellbeing.
- Feeling like they are facing too many recommendations on how to improve wellbeing and ‘feel their best’ but aren’t sure where to turn.
Referrals can be made via the employer or as a self-referral. The service is available for those employees covered by Unum’s Group Income Protection policy who are having difficulty in areas such as:
- Their workload
- Dealing with change
- Working from home/returning to the office
- Time management
- Work/life balance
- Motivation
- Personal stressors
- Resilience
- Self-care
- Overall wellbeing.
Referral forms can be found here.
Employers can also register on our portal UnumSync to submit online referrals.
If you would like your employees to be able to self-refer for a wellbeing check, they can use this link.
Once the referral and consent are completed, our team will be in touch with them to book their wellbeing check.
