New Wellbeing and Resilience Training Resource

The challenges presented by stress and mental health problems have never been more acute than in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. These new challenges are of major concern for organisations and individuals, in the light of growing evidence of their effects during the pandemic.

ISMA^UK is focused on ensuring these issues continue to receive maximum attention, with the active promotion of wellbeing in the workplace. In support of these aims, we have produced a new Wellbeing and Resilience at Work Training Programme, an off-the-shelf training resource with everything trainers and line managers need to help participants -

• Differentiate between stress and pressure and recognise the signs of stress
• Identify their personal levels of wellbeing and resilience
• Acquire tools and techniques to improve wellbeing and resilience
• Set goals for wellbeing improvement

Our ISMA^UK Recognised Course programme includes options for one-to-one or small group sessions and an interactive workshop. Find out more here and download our promotional flyer now.

“ISMA^UK’s new training pack Wellbeing and Resilience at Work will help people enhance their mental wellbeing and manage workplace stress. It combines very accessible, useful information with interactive sessions to help them identify their own issues and how to deal with them. It is a supportive guide and toolkit for individuals, HR and occupational health professionals.”
Professor Sir Cary Cooper, University of Manchester, ISMA^UK Patron
