Specific to Canada and our medical system are the following issues for most employers' Accommodation Processes: Asking a Physician to write a note proving the employee requires an accommodation - this immediately medicalizes the entire conversation and breaches the employee or prospective employee's privacy rights. It also takes up valuable MD time when they could be treating patients with more serious issues at hand. #HumanResourcesProfessionals far too often take #Accommodation #Accessibility into their own hands vs hiring #experts who use a function and psychosocial approach to #Accomodation that being #ergonomists #Physiotherapists Let's move #Employers towards #EvidenceBased #FunctionalBased #Accommodation #ReturnToWork #CaseManagement #accessibility so that this process becomes effective, cost effective and optimizes employee performance on a consistent basis.

Labour will 'move fast and fix things' said Transport Secretary, Louise Haigh MP. If one area needs fixing more than transport, it's the NHS. And a healthy population will good part of the 'fix'. Health professionals know that there is a miracle cure. Exercise. The best forms of exercise are those that fit into everyday life, like #walking and #cycling. There is a sound evidence base that support making #activetravel a “best buy” for improving population-level health – and, by extension, the health of the economy. Transport and urban professionals know what needs to be done to deliver this miracle cure. What's more creating the environment that make everyday exercise safe. desirable and easy benefits the economic health of towns and cities. And we can't have a healthy economy without a healthy population. Another win. #VirtuousCircle Landor LINKS is working with Active Travel England, is bringing the fifth Transport + Health conference to Bristol on October 15 2024. Transport + Health is focused on showing how population health could be better integrated into transport and planning policy objectives and how professionals across very different disciplines can come together and make massive progress. Together we can move fast and solve some hard problems. The CALL FOR PAPERS is open https://lnkd.in/ej2sh-pM ''Exercise improves health and Active Travel England’s mission is shared by the health service. We all want to see more people incorporating active travel into their day as a way to keep mentally and physically fit.'' Professor Chris Whitty, England’s Chief Medical Officer #populationhealth #publichealth #transport

How can we use transport to improve public health? Active travel (walking and cycling to cut through the jargon) is a bit of a Cinderella within transport, often crowded out by big ticket spending on road and rail infrastructure projects. And yet we know it has to be part of the jigsaw of integrated transport, often as part of the last mile of journeys and particularly in city centres that are now often jammed up with congestion. Although it's not the sole reason, it's no coincidence that as we've become more car-dependent globally (through familiarity, ease, and reducing cost) our health has suffered. With obesity and cardiovascular disease projected to double to 1.9bn people globally by 2035. That's why I was a little fascinated by this report published by the World Economic Forum with support from PwC colleagues in Switzerland - covering the role that employers have in tackling obesity and cardiovascular poor health. Particularly as they make a case that employers need to be leading from the front in promoting active travel. It proposes that to help tackle this employers should ensure or support public or active transport options to the workplace. And that government should design and invest in built environments that include safe green spaces, and connected active and public transport networks - which in the UK would align with the new government's mission-led approach by using transport policy to improve health outcomes. Interestingly for me, there's also a finding that the transport sector itself, even though it heavily prioritises more traditional aspects of employee safety (such as prevention of accidents) typically does less than other sectors around broader health and wellbeing. Which raises the question is it time for us to give equal footing to weight and cardio healthcare in industries that already have a strong physical safety culture? Finally, the report discusses the role of the investor in moving the dial on this issue. Proposing that investors should consider an employer's commitment to public and active travel in their lending criteria, much as we've seen them do for ESG in recent years. One of the key questions we're hearing right now is around funding for new infrastructure projects, and particularly how new public/private funding models could be used. And whilst much of the talk is inevitably around larger road, rail and port projects - maybe it's time to get investors, employers and government to work together to help out Cinderella and tackle one of the biggest global health issues by building some really great active travel infrastructure too? https://lnkd.in/eCAbcS7r #ActiveTravel #PublicTransport #InfrastructureFunding
