Over 20 rail companies are signed up to the award-winning rail industry health data dashboard project. The findings are already providing a powerful tool to generate evidenced based decisions to help businesses to improve overall wellbeing and health for rail staff. This session covers how companies have overcome the challenges of collecting health data, what to do if you are unsure or don’t know where to start collecting data and how it supports the story telling; answering the “why” and “so what” when taking action to drive change. It also touches on how frontline staff are not only the biggest assets to any business but how their reporting is key to identifying and managing the risks posed to rail staff in today’s climate.
