Growing our OHWB people 3. Multi-disciplinary OHWB workforce planning:A new, national OHWB workforce development plan is in place and representative of the multi-professional OHWB family of roles that collectively contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of our NHS people. This plan includes growing capacity and capability of existing professional roles (e.g. OH physicians and OH nurses), growing newer roles (e.g. wellbeing leads, OH allied health professionals, wellbeing guardians, and wellbeing champions) and innovating in new roles (e.g. chief OHWB officer, health business partner, OH apprentices). National NHS bodies and partners are working in a united way to deliver this workforce plan. 3.1 Attractive career pathways and talent management for OHWB professionals:The family of OHWB professions in the NHS is seen as a valued and attractive vocation. Career pathways in OHWB are clear, accessible, and inclusive of a variety of professional entry routes, both clinical and managerial. A talent management approach is utilised to ensure that there are sustainable talent pipelines, and we are growing our OHWB talent to maximise their potential. This is considered at organisational, Integrated Care System, and national levels. Credible and accessible OHWB education and training:Credible professional training and education enables entry into the OHWB family of roles through a variety of flexible pathways. Higher education partners and expert OHWB bodies are working collaboratively to develop the family of OHWB professional vocational roles in the NHS. Empowered OHWB leaders:Through professional development and peer learning, OHWB leaders are enabled to effectively lead their teams, develop their services, and enable innovation in OHWB. 3.2 3.3 3.4 Empowered OHWB workforce: The multi-professional OHWB community are enabled to collaboratively develop their skills, capabilities, and specialised practice through a combination of personal development and peer development opportunities. Developing all NHS managers in supporting employee health and wellbeing: All NHS managers are supported to look after their own health and wellbeing and are empowered to pass this wellbeing onto their teams. They are trained in basic health and wellbeing skills, are confident to engage in good wellbeing conversations with their employees, and are actively signposting and supporting interventions that improve their employees wellbeing. 3.5 3.6
