Course description
Workplace wellbeing can be described as a combination of how staff feel about themselves, their colleagues, and their work. Fundamentally, it aims to ensure that people are safe, healthy and engaged at work and can lead to reduced incidences of stress and injury while simultaneously delivering enhanced productivity.
Organisational leadership underpinned by effective HR policy plays a significant role in ensuring organisations achieve well-being goals. Initiatives that support such goals can include employee assistance programmes, flexible working arrangements, adaptability and resilience training and healthy eating programmes. Establishing a robust culture of health and wellbeing that is aligned with organisational strategy is essential to ensuring the future well-being of our workforces. This programme offers a great first step in achieving this for your organisation.
This programme is an in-depth exploration of the knowledge and tools required to establish a successful well-being programme in the workplace. It introduces an evidence-based framework that maps the stages that culminate in a robust workplace wellbeing programme. It explores how the correlation between an organisation’s well-being vision and its strategic ambition can be exploited to make a compelling business case for well-being in any organisation. It offers tools that help identify both current state and future wellbeing targets, ensuring that measurable well-being objectives can be identified, implemented and tracked.
Participants will leave the programme with a clear framework to design, implement and sustain a successful workplace wellbeing programme. A programme that not only improves the mental and physical health of its workforce but also, supports, aligns and complements their organisational processes, strategies and culture.
