Evolve Training provides online training sessions for people professionals - human resource directors and partners, wellbeing leads and organisational development specialists - who want to keep at the cutting edge of insight and action on workplace wellbeing issues.

Detailed Description

What the session covers:

• It acknowledges strong evidence that not all wellbeing initiatives are received in the way intended by people professionals and outlines reasons for resistance or cynicism.
• It offers insight into the ways businesses can build authentic attention to worker wellbeing into their approaches in an appropriate way for the business setting, drawing on multiple research case studies. 
• It shows where line managers and senior managers make a difference and the ways in which their actions can support or undermine wellbeing initiatives. 
• It explores different ways of engaging in authentic dialogue with employees to create an evidence-based wellbeing strategy.

What you will do:

• Learn - ideas, principles, structured ways of planning and reviewing
• Discuss - with your peers in the session, learning from each other's insights and questions
• Generate ideas - think openly about long-term cultural change in your organisation, what is suitable for you, your sector and your colleagues
• Plan - what you are going to take from the session into action in your organisation. 

All our sessions focus on empowering people professionals to act in their own organisations, by building knowledge and capacity. We help people understand when they can use common principles and contrast that with when and how to tailor their responses to their specific context. Our approach is not a checklist, standard or quick fix - but for those of you who have already tried those and found that they do not 'move the dial' on wellbeing, we offer the next step in the journey.
