This course is aimed at all those whose role involves the supervision and management of others within an organisation. It is also for professionals and specialists working in an organisational context across a range of disciplines with responsibilities that influence and impact on people and their performance at work.

Accurate and valid knowledge about the nature of well-being, the factors that influence it, how it can be measured, and ways of improving it are paramount for developing and sustaining organisational effectiveness. It is now essential to view action for assessing, developing and improving individual and organisational health and well-being as an investment and not a cost. With this knowledge and understanding, organisations place themselves at an advantage in terms of managing individual performance, reducing absence, enhancing the recruitment and retention of staff and improving the bottom line. This course seeks to develop a clear and useable knowledge of well-being and demonstrate how managing well-being can come with a consequential benefit for the employee and the organisation in terms of health, performance and profit. The course is about developing healthy, resilient and high-performing organisations.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• explain the relationship between individual and organisational health and well-being
• identify predictors and contributors to occupational health and appreciate how these relate to performance at work
• analyse the work environment in terms of factors that undermine health and well-being as well as those that support well-being at work
• decide the strategy and steps in conducting a organisational health audit
• evaluate available health management strategies
• apply knowledge to practical strategies for maintaining and improving individual and organisational health.
