Course Overview
Data on mentally healthy work environments is abundant; insight about it is not. People decide what work environments really means by watching who gets promoted. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about this strand of people management and development. Practitioner evidence points the same way: mentally healthy work environments improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the wider people management and development agenda are used deliberately. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of work environments rather than to abstract argument. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting mentally healthy work environments and under-invest in testing it. Participants leave with a method for work environments, not a set of opinions about it. Participants leave with a plan for this part of people management and development sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
