Wellbeing Festival 2022
Join us for our biggest event in 2022
Workforce wellbeing is a massively important topic across health and social care, even in ‘regular’ times. During the Covid times that importance has been magnified many times over. Of even greater importance is our individual wellbeing.
- How can leaders and managers in health and social care ensure that their workforce wellbeing measures are effective?
- How can new workforce wellbeing measures be speedily implemented?
- Where can leaders and managers find details of workforce wellbeing activity that is proven?
- What can we do to look after ourselves, before we help others?
This festival is an opportunity to explore skills, best practice solutions, and resources for individual and team wellbeing. Take part in live relaxation sessions, create a toolkit of resources, and find out more about what organisations are doing to improve the wellbeing of their workforce.
