Mentally healthy workplaces
This Mentally Health Work Development Programme is designed for executive and functional leaders including those in health and safety, wellbeing, human resources and organisational development.
With psychological health and safety an emerging area of focus, organisations are increasingly recognising the importance of how they design work and the work environment. This enables them to meet their health and safety duties to prevent psychological harm, whilst also maximising wellbeing and performance of their workforce.
This programme is a practical entry point for building confidence, starting meaningful conversations, and shaping the next steps.
