How employers can improve productivity, profitability, and employee wellbeing by developing a more resilient, mentally tough, and emotionally intelligent workforce.
This next pro-manchester Wellbeing Champion event will focus on how businesses can address the human energy crisis happening in their business today. We know that mental health alone costs UK plc over £50billion per year (Source: Deloittes 2022) however the real costs of distracted employees and the corresponding disruptions to productivity are much higher. Simply hoping employees bring their whole selves to work and engage fully is failing. If we want engaged employees, we have to help them disengage from life's distractions by supporting their whole wellbeing.
This panel discussion event will look at how resilience, mental toughness, compassion and emotional intelligence helps business leaders, and their employees, cope with the stress and pressure of workplace performance, including the fear of job losses, difficult managers and the general anxiety caused by turbulent times. Throughout the panel discussion we will hear from HR specialists, psychologists, business leaders and those that have developed these skills in the face of adversity to understand how you can start to develop these skills and characteristics within yourself, your business, and your teams.
This event is for any business leader who wants to improve the performance, productivity, happiness, and wellbeing of their employees and see their business grow through nurturing the productivity of the employees they already have. Every business claims that their people are their greatest asset, but most find it extremely difficult to unlock their true potential and capacity for work; this event is the start of that journey.
