Research specially commissioned for Dame Carol Black's review of the health of Britain's workforce, found considerable evidence that health and well-being programmes produced economic benefits across all sectors and all sizes of business: in other words, that good health is good business.This programme:
• will provide clear and useable knowledge of the nature of health and well-being and
can be based around a ‘live’ project for your organisation.
• gives those with management responsibility the knowledge and tools to take long
term responsibility for this costly area of employee management.
• is packed with exercises, tools and tips on the effective management of health and
well-being.
The business benefits from the date of enrolment as live issues are tackled, strategies developed, appropriate policies, procedures and behaviours discussed.
Participants are supported in their role with information and resources, such as enabling work-life balance for their team, effective people management skills and performance management support as well as information and support on creating work-life balance and managing stress.
This course is part funded by the Health Work and Wellbeing Challenge fund - senior mangers of SMEs could access support for the remaining costs through the Director Development fund.
