Upskilling managers to support health at work
Managers have become more important than ever for ensuring work doesn’t make people sick. However, according to the 2023 Health and Wellbeing report from the CIPD, some managers, unfortunately, have a negative impact on employee wellbeing. This means the single most important thing employers can do to boost the health of their workforce in 2024 is to equip managers with the skills, support and competency to manage wellbeing.
This article reviews the impact that managers have on employee wellbeing and the role of managers when it comes to creating a culture of wellbeing. This is followed by a discussion of a framework that has been developed to upskill managers, including tools for the wellbeing toolbox which can be implemented inclusively within the workforce.
