This seminar is for HR professionals and how they can support managers in their organisations.

For organisations looking to create a culture of wellbeing, the role of line manager is pivotal. Without the active buy-in and involvement of these integral members of staff, even the most ambitious strategy will fail to catch on and make a lasting impact. So what are the do’s and don’ts for getting line managers on board with your programme?

How HR can support managers in the field of employee wellbeing

Managers direct all manner of difficult questions to HR when it comes to the wellbeing of their staff, such as:

• Will I discriminate against someone if I discuss mental health with colleagues?
• What to do when employees tell us of health issues, then ask for it to be kept private?
• What signs should I look out for in knowing if an employee is stressed, and what should I then do about it?

Anita Mishra will talk through the legal background of wellbeing, offering practical solutions.
