Hold difficult conversations about corporate wellbeing programmes early, while they are still small.
Building Corporate Wellbeing Programmes and Supporting Employee Mental Health
Move corporate wellbeing programmes from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Most failures in corporate wellbeing programmes trace back to a conversation someone avoided having. Authority is granted by the organisation; credibility in this part of organisational leadership is earned separately. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this aspect of organisational leadership, ready to be adapted internally. Participants test their assumptions about corporate wellbeing programmes against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The programme takes participants through this strand of organisational leadership end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the practice within organisational leadership and under-invest in testing it. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with corporate wellbeing programmes. The professional literature on the organisational leadership capability converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The final module sets out how progress on this area of organisational leadership will be evidenced six months later.
