Overview

According to the IOSH report 'The Healthy Profit', sickness absence due to mental ill health alone costs the UK economy more than £8bn per year. An organisation that is healthy and well is more likely to be productive, innovative and competitive.

This Intellelearn Managing Occupational Health and Wellbeing course is designed to provide your people with the tools and techniques to improve the health and wellbeing of the entire workforce. 

Did you know: “69% of Managers have not been trained to recognise poor mental health in their employees!”

Managing Occupational Health and Wellbeing offers a fresh approach to health training. You’ll find a practical programme, full of step-by-step guidance, and a sharp business focus. But you’ll also find that the content engages and inspires your staff – critical to getting the message embedded across the whole organisation.

It’s designed to provide them with the tools and techniques to improve health and wellbeing across their organisation.
