•Must be embedded
•Has to evolve
•One essential element

The essential element

What you gain

# w e l l b e i n g a t w o r k # w e l l b e i n g a t w o r k # w e l l b e i n g a t w o r k # w e l l b e i n g a t w o r k
“It really is too expensive, we simply don’t have any budget for it”
It doesn’t have to cost ANYTHING!
“We’ve tried but only a few people engaged with it”
It doesn’t matter if you don’t engage all the people all the time
“Our business is too small / complicated / unique”
There is always something that will work – be creative
“We don’t have anyone who can organise it”
This has to be owned by everyone – it’s not an HR responsibility

Wellbeing – why bother?
• What happens when you listen to your people and respond to their need?
• It’s all about data!
• Mental ill health cases are on the increase
• Healthy & Happy employees = happy customers
• I can’t afford it / it’s not where I would choose to invest my money
