HSL is to run a 2 day course on Wellbeing - Enhancing Operational Efficiency Through Worker Wellbeing.
26 - 27 June 2012
Introduction
"Health is not everything, but without
health, everything is nothing" (Schopenhauer, 1788-1860, German
philosopher).
HSL
believes happy people means healthy prospects for individuals and
business alike. Where wellbeing exists, in
our view, learning, innovation and creativity are more likely to
flow as a natural consequence, and business benefits will
result.
This course, delivered by HSL experts, aims
to educate delegates in best practice techniques enabling them to
implement a holistic wellbeing programme into the
workplace. It is founded upon extensive research
and collaborative international projects carried out by HSL.
Working as both researchers and consultants, HSL's psychologists
have turned current theory and knowledge on the topic of wellbeing
into practical techniques that can be implemented in the
workplace.
It
differs from other courses on this topic by demonstrating how
psychological principles and approaches can be incorporated into
the wider health and safety management system.
This will help ensure an integrated, and therefore more effective
and holistic approach to employee and organisational
wellbeing.
The course will cover:
- What wellbeing
means
- Why addressing wellbeing is
important
- How to integrate your wellbeing approach with
your existing safety management systems
- Factors that influence
individual and organisational
wellbeing
- Key
components and techniques of a wellbeing
initiative:
-Assessment: a look at
forthcoming tools from HSL
-Leadership competencies
(including during times of
austerity)
-The
work environment.
-Healthy
body
-Healthy
mind
-Worker
involvement
-Managing
diversity
-Bullying / work-related
violence and managing team conflict
-Professional
development
- How to maintain your wellbeing initiative to
help ensure a sustained benefit for individuals and the
organisation
Who should attend?
The course will be most appropriate for health and
safety managers, with limited knowledge / experience of
wellbeing. However, it will also be relevant to
those who have established wellbeing initiatives but are interested
in ensuring a holistic wellbeing approach based upon key
psychological prinicples of human
behaviour.

The course will be run at the HSL laboratory in the spa town of
Buxton. Buxton is in the heart of the Peak District and has good
links to mainline train stations and Manchester International
Airport.

The cost of this course is £625 per person (includes
course notes, lunch and refreshments).
