Overview
Wednesday, 15th July 2020 | Online
Staff wellbeing must become a key priority for organisations during periods of crisis, change and upheaval, if organisational resilience is to be fostered and enhanced. Associated benefits, from improved staff motivation, morale and retention, reduced absenteeism, lower costs, and a more sustainable workforce, are all crucial to supporting productivity and adaptability.
Wellbeing is multi-faceted, encompassing mental, physical, financial, environmental and social health. Robust and comprehensive policies and action, as well as education and understanding, are therefore essential to optimise employee wellbeing and organisational performance.
Our upcoming ‘Wellbeing at Work: Enhancing Employee Engagement and Productivity’ event will provide you with the practical advice and actionable insight needed to holistically address wellbeing at work, and ultimately maximise both staff satisfaction and organisational outcomes.
Please note that video recordings of each session will be made available to delegates in the days following the event.
'Wellbeing at Work' is also taking place in London on 4th November 2020. Click here to visit the event page.
