Wellbeing Champions Training

Research from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) found that nearly 50% of UK employees report mental health challenges due to poor management.

According to Mind, a UK mental health charity, poor relationships with managers are one of the top causes of work-related mental health issues.

How do we solve this?

Wellbeing Champions

Wellbeing champions for years as been known for making a group of enthusiastic individuals about mental health push on and represent the workplace for the betterment of wellbeing.

Over the years this has meant many people have taken up training such as Mental health first aid and other programs. The issue here is that training was conducted, safeguarding and follow up mentorship was not. Resulting in lots of failed champions, first aiders and hurt employees. It is time that changed.

With our new wellbeing champions training we address every area of employee wellbeing, along with giving champions safeguarding and back up support for their role. This method protects every area of the champion so that they aren’t exposed to harm whilst trying to do good.
