The Role of Wellbeing in Individual and Organisational Growth Training Course

Course overview

There is a significant increase in the number of individuals struggling, or completely unable, to function effectively due to a self-reported worsening of their mental health and wellbeing (including anxiety, stress and depression). It is therefore essential that we take the time to acknowledge the impact that this is having on individuals and the workplace. This costs British businesses an estimated £26 billion per annum. In addition, studies have revealed that 460,000 people transition from work to sickness and disability benefits a year, which costs employers £9 billion a year.

An individual’s wellbeing and the ‘culture of wellbeing’ in the organisation cannot be nurtured through light touch tokenistic gestures but through establishing a culture of active listening that extends from a position of wanting to understand how genuine support can be effectively provided. This includes not only listening to others but also to our own mental health and well-being needs.

This programme will discuss definitions of wellbeing, acknowledging that it has many different components. It will detail what each of these components are and the need to understand the symbiotic significance of each component. Drawing on neurological evidence the programme will examine the signs of declining Well Being, and explain the related negative outcomes to the individual and the workplace.

It will address ways in which this deterioration in individuals / organisations can be prevented and consider ways, with examples, in which overall wellness can be improved. Detailing why this is key to both personal and professional success, and individual and organisational growth.
