There is currently much concern about workplace health and well-being yet the practices and policies deployed in organizations to tackle these issues do not seem to be effective. The main reason for this is that HR (and other functions) do not adopt an evidence-based approach. This session will: 1. Describe the origins of evidence-based HR 2. Discuss its three main principles and their purpose 3. Outline a model of evidence-based HR 4. Apply this model to a workplace well-being issue 5. Consider the main barriers to evidence-based HR and how these can be overcome.
