Overview
Tuesday 3rd November 2020 | Online
A motivated and productive workforce is a crucial asset for every organisation. Engaged employees can spell the difference between success and failure, especially in times of economic uncertainty and upheaval.
For optimal organisational and individual resilience, employers must take crucial steps to support their staff's wellbeing and mental health.
Indeed, employees who feel cared for by their organisation are more likely to stay at their company long-term, are less likely to suffer from stress and burnout, and more likely to be engaged at work.
Our upcoming ‘Wellbeing at Work: Supporting Staff Wellbeing to Improve Organisational Resilience’ event will provide you with the practical advice and actionable insight needed to comprehensively address staff wellbeing, engagement and mental health at work, boosting positive results for staff and organisations alike.
Please note that video recordings of each session will be made available to delegates in the days following the event.
