What is it?
Organisations with high levels of wellbeing have outperformed the stock market by 2 – 3% per year over a 25 year period. FTSE 100 companies who demonstrate best practice in employee wellbeing show a higher-than-average shareholder return – 61% instead of 51%.
However, only 50% of organisations have a standalone wellbeing strategy. 46% say they have an ad-hoc approach to wellbeing based on reacting to employer need.
We can help you understand the impact and importance of a joined up, holistic and strategic approach to wellbeing. The Workplace Health and Wellbeing training course for directors is a 6 hour course, which explores:
- What wellbeing is, how it relates to health and safety, and why managing wellbeing is so important
- How and why many organisations get it wrong
- Their role in managing wellbeing (a) as a senior leader, (b) as a manager and (c) the importance of managing their own wellbeing
- How British Safety Council can support their organisation in respect of health, safety and wellbeing
- Understanding the impact and importance of a joined up, holistic and strategic approach to wellbeing.
Our expert facilitators can visit your workplace (or virtually) and deliver 1 session per day to a group of 20.
