Employee Wellbeing - your role as a People Manager

The link between productivity and wellbeing in the workplace is well established. Poor mental health costs employers between £42 and £45 billion a year through a mixture of absenteeism, presenteeism and staff turnover.

Relationships are one of the five key drivers of wellbeing in the workplace. And the relationship we have with our boss is the most critical of all. Since 70% of our motivation is influenced by our line manager it is critical that this is a positive relationship. However, most employees (75%) believe that their boss is the most stressful part of their job.

Course Description

This course is for managers who want to understand their role in creating a good working environment, where stress factors are minimised and managed.

We will look at how leaders drive values, behaviour, culture, wellbeing and performance in the workplace – for good or bad. As a group we will then reflect on what kind of managers we are, and what kind of managers we have.

Ultimately we will try to answer the question: How do I make my team members’ lives easier – physically, cognitively, and emotionally?
