How to Run a Business Health Check for Those Who Work from Home
One of the most popular products at OH One is the Business Health Check. This is where our team of experts work with businesses to explore whether or not their business is up to scratch – legally and ethically.
The types of things we tend to look for are immediate health risks and things that may impact health and wellbeing. From this, we walk you through the legal requirements of a business and how you can make the workspace happier for everyone.
However, how do we navigate a health check when no one is in the office? Here’s what we look for:
The behaviour of a workplace
Over Zoom, we may speak with your employees and HR team to get a feel for the ethos and general working environment.
Whether it’s based on behaviours, language, or managerial techniques, an office environment can be created in a multitude of ways, however, it can make or break a business.
A working environment should be a healthy space for employees to feel safe vocalising how they feel, not one that breeds competition and anxiety.
The HR team
A HR team is the foundation of a healthy working environment. In other words, if the foundation is rocky, then the rest of the team will be.
OH One can easily explore the procedures a company has in place, and sitting down with the HR team is a major part of this.
By exploring things such as employee contracts, medical benefits, employee turnover rate, and more, OH One can analyse which areas of your company need the support.
Varying aspects
Of course, not every avenue of the business health check can be carried out in the same way as pre-COVID. For businesses that can’t operate online, it’s crucial adjustments are made to carry out this process safely.
However, these aspects will be considered on a case-by-case basis – with changes and allowances to be made for those who need it.
Ultimately, your safety (and the safety of your employees) is the most important thing to us. And this will be reflected in the business health check.
