Promoting health and wellbeing within a high performing organisation

Summary

The construction of the Olympic Park was a fast-moving programme with an immoveable deadline. Employees had to perform at their best, under periods of intense pressure in a constantly changing and complex environment. The health and wellbeing of employees was a key priority. The Olympic Delivery Authority’s Health and Wellbeing Programme included an ‘Athlete At Work’ Programme delivering pressure, resilience, stress and change management nuggets; personal coaching; employee assistance programmes; health weeks; and on-site occupational health services. Key to success was the alignment between organisational change, health, resilience and high performance.
