What is this session about?
Harvard research shows that focusing on employee wellbeing and creating a positive work environment where employees feel valued improves productivity, reduces turnover, fuels innovation, nurtures customer retention, and drives revenue.
It’s also the right thing to do. Employers and managers have a duty of care to every employee to ensure their health, safety and wellbeing. Managers need to send a clear signal to their teams that they are valued, and their health and wellbeing is important - and have tools in place to make this a reality. They also need to have the skills and resources to support employees through whatever challenges they may face.
