Thriving at work - by design!

About this workshop

The purpose of this one-day workshop is to transform the way individuals and organisations think about health and wellbeing. In too many organisations, health and wellbeing is seen as a ‘nice to have’ rather than core to business sustainability.

Extensive research shows that a strong, values based ethical workplace culture improves people’s health and well-being, drives up engagement and is more productive. This workshop will provide you the tools to kick-start the development of such a workplace.

We hope to identify people who will champion these ideas when they return back to their workplaces and thereby start to make a tangible difference to the Reading business community over time.

This course is intended for individuals from a wide range of roles including but not limited to: health and wellbeing leads, HR, managers, senior executives, learning and development.

The workshop is comprised of five modules:

  1. What is a Healthy and Ethical workplace (HEW)?
  2. Building understanding, communicating effectively and resolving conflict.
  3. Promoting positive mental health in the workplace
