Wellbeing Champions Development Programme

Develop In-House Wellness Expertise in SME's and Third Sector

SME’s can be busy and stressful places to work.  When even a small number of employees are  struggling with stress, it can have a big impact on an organisation’s costs and productivity. Likewise, organisations in the Third Sector are often limited by their size and budgets. 

​

Creating a wellness culture takes time and expertise – we can help by skilling up an internal Wellbeing Champion for your organisation.

​

Having your own in-house Wellbeing Champion enables your organisation to be more proactive in reducing stress, burnout and absenteeism. It also enhances your ability to attract and retain key talent.

 

We support your Wellbeing Champion to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to build and execute a wellness programme and embed a culture of wellness in the organisation.
