Rolling with Wellbeing

This webinar will give employers and line managers the awareness, confidence and tools to promote wellbeing at work and reduce unnecessary absence.

The Health and Safety Executive estimate that 40.1 million working days were lost due to work-related ill health and non-fatal workplace injuries in 2024/25. That doesn’t include ill health or injury caused by something outside work.

Good managers can take steps to reduce or prevent work-related health issues and to spot the early signs of other problems that may lead to avoidable absence.

The webinar will cover:

• Why wellbeing is so high on so many agendas. The issue, the causes and the impact.
• Employers’ responsibilities; the obvious and the not so obvious.
• Mental health – the hidden menace.
• What to look out for – the wellbeing wheel.
• Managing it – the wellbeing conversation.

Who is this event for?

Employers, line managers and aspiring line managers.

What will you gain from it?

• Whether work is the cause of a health issue or it is aggravating it, employers have a legal responsibility to help their employees.
• Addressing wellbeing as a challenge will reduce the impact of working days lost to health problems. Organisations should focus on helping their people to keep healthy rather than on just reacting to sickness.
• This responsibility is not normally an onerous one – it requires employers and, on their behalf, line managers, to be proactive in identifying problems and acting swiftly to resolve them where they can.
• Mental health is a particularly tricky area as it can be hard to spot until it has become really serious. It is also a growing cause for concern in the UK. Having strategies in place for handling it can give managers confidence in supporting team members with mental health issues.
• Being aware of the common causes of stress, work-related and non-work related, can help managers to reduce the impact of some of them.
