Work-related ill health accounts for some 28 million working days lost a year in Great Britain (HSE, 2006). There is a larger impact than purely absence and this is the effect of presenteeism. This can be defined as 'health-related impairment in productivity while at work' or 'reduced productivity while at work' (Prasad et al, 2004). Presenteeism due to workers' being in work and ill can cut individual productivity by one third or more (CIPD's guide for SME's sickness absence). SME's in particular suffer greater negative effects on their productivity due to their size and it is therefore recognised that a healthy and well workforce will be more productive.UK workplaces are considered important settings for promoting wellbeing. A number of approaches have been implemented in an attempt to support employees in initiating positive lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity, modifying diet and reducing smoking and excessive alcohol intake. However, many of these interventions focus on passive approaches such as information exchange and pay scant attention to the need for employee engagement toward both the initiation and maintenance of lifestyle behaviour changes. They also often fail to use interventions underpinned by scientific evidence and in managing relapses. Wellness programmes need to offer tailored interventions which support those ambivalent to change as well as action-orientated employees, which include baseline and follow-up conversations about change and assessments of their current health status.The proposed project will be based on a successful workplace wellness programme already delivered by SHU through both NHS and medium sized private sector partners. These are evidence-based approaches underpinned by behaviour change theory delivered by trained practitioners. This approach allows for high quality monitoring and evaluation to ensure reporting of the impact of the intervention using validated and widely recognised measures including logic modelling. We want to test the feasibility of adapting this successful model to the SME sector in a sustainable and cost effective way.The project will test our 1-hour lifestyle behaviour change intervention and a 30-minute streamlined version against an information only control group. Both interventions will be delivered using Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques and will consist of baseline measurements with goal setting and strategies for self-monitoring, follow-up email support and a repeat follow-up session after 6-months. This person-centered, bespoke approach is widely accepted in health psychology literature to be effective in developing autonomous change. Ultimately this should have a lasting positive effect on productivity.

在英国，与工作相关的疾病每年损失约2800万个工作日(HSE，2006)。这比纯粹的缺席有更大的影响，这就是出勤主义的影响。这可以被定义为“工作时与健康相关的生产力受损”或“工作时生产力降低”(Prasad等人，2004年)。由于员工工作和生病而导致的出勤会使个人生产率降低三分之一或更多(CIPD的中小企业病假指南)。特别是中小企业，由于它们的规模，它们的生产力受到了更大的负面影响，因此人们认识到，健康和良好的劳动力将会更具生产力。英国的工作场所被认为是促进福祉的重要环境。已经实施了一些方法，试图支持员工发起积极的生活方式变化，如增加体力活动、改变饮食和减少吸烟和过量饮酒。然而，许多干预措施侧重于被动的方法，如信息交换，而对员工参与启动和维持生活方式行为变化的必要性关注较少。他们也经常未能使用以科学证据为基础的干预措施，以及在控制复发方面。健康计划需要提供量身定制的干预措施，支持那些对改变持矛盾态度的人以及以行动为导向的员工，其中包括关于改变的基线和后续对话，以及对他们当前健康状况的评估。拟议的项目将基于SHU已经通过NHS和中型私营部门合作伙伴提供的成功的工作场所健康计划。这些都是以证据为基础的方法，由训练有素的从业者提出的行为改变理论为基础。这一方法允许进行高质量的监测和评估，以确保使用包括逻辑建模在内的经过验证和得到广泛认可的措施报告干预的影响。我们希望测试这一成功模式以可持续和成本效益的方式应用于中小企业部门的可行性。该项目将测试我们的1小时生活方式改变干预和30分钟简化版本，并与仅限信息的对照组进行比较。这两种干预措施都将使用动机访谈(MI)技术进行，并将包括带有目标设定和自我监测战略的基线测量、后续电子邮件支持和6个月后的重复后续会议。这种以人为中心的、量身定制的方法在健康心理学文献中被广泛接受，认为它在发展自主变化方面是有效的。最终，这应该会对生产率产生持久的积极影响。
