ASH Wales annual Wales Tobacco or Health Network (WTHN) Conference
2020-03-19 09:30 - 13:30
“Stubbing out Smoking; Breathing new life into Workplace Wellbeing”

This year we are focussing on
Workplace Wellbeing. Dr Llinos Haf Spencer from Bangor University will
present findings from 2019 report, Wellness in Work and will demonstrate the
latest evidence for the return on investment of supporting a healthy
workforce. We will also hear about the challenges and opportunities
around delivering a meaningful health and wellbeing programme.

20% of the workforce in Wales
are still smoking. Wales has the highest rate of sickness absence in the
UK and smokers take more sick days – around 5.6 days; smoking breaks cost
businesses £2k per smoker in lost productivity ever year.

Employee
wellbeing is a key issue that companies right across the employment spectrum
are striving to address. They are constantly adapting and looking for in
work health support solutions they can invest in that will provide them with
positive rewards. More than 60% of smokers want to quit and 44% make a
serious quit attempt every year. They are far more likely to success if
they quit with help.

Details and registration of the conference can be found on Eventbrite https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/stubbing-out-smoking-breathing-life-into-workplace-wellbeing-tickets-94432465045

The conference will have a
smoking focus but the audience will be a mixture of employers, frontline
workers, housing, local authority and the care sector.

The ideas and opportunities
raised at this event will be fed back to senior policy makers across Wales with
recommendations for future action.
