A whole company approach to wellbeing development
A really insightful course loaded with lots of useful techniques and exercises that will help me in the future – thank you. Recently I have been working with a really inspirational and energetic company that have taken a refreshing approach to employee wellbeing. Effective Energy is a forward thinking company that specialises in energy efficient solutions, so proactively encouraging others to find solutions and improvements around energy management supporting the challenges around climate change.
Natures Coaching were asked to help launch their employee wellbeing approach by developing a training session for all employees. We developed an interactive session that looked at mental health and enabled employees to talk about things they wouldn’t normally talk about sharing their own experiences and developing a broader understanding around stress, anxiety and depression. Helping to individuals to talk about things we don’t normally talk about. The session then looked at individual wellbeing and resilience and helping them explore what traits they have already and develop new strategies to enhance their resilience, so they are better prepared for life’s difficulties and challenges when they arise.
I would like to say thank you for all the things you’ve shared I will be taking these with me to help me move forward.
What make this special was the fact that all employees took part, directors, senior manager, administrators, surveyors and their heating engineers all learning and talking together about these important personal subjects.
Initially from some senior managers and directors there was a little reticence about having everyone together and whether everyone would embrace the session in the way it was intended as this is not normally a subject that people talk about. I’m delighted to say that everyone embraced the session and found it really beneficial to take time out to have this time for their personal development.
