The Wellbeing Academy

Your secret weapon to create mentally healthy cultures at work.

With mental health and wellbeing initiatives on the rise at work, your remit in People Teams and HR has vastly grown over the last few years.

Many of you feel isolated and overwhelmed, wondering if you’re getting it right and want to know what others are doing with limited resources and plenty of barriers along the way! 

You’re passionate and want to get this right, but are burnt out and wondering if it’s really possible to make the difference you want to make. After all, who helps the helper? Where do you go for support when everyone else comes to you?

You are not alone.

Together we can change the world of work.

The Wellbeing Academy is the space you’ve been waiting for. 

Whether you’re a seasoned HR professional or early on in your wellbeing journey, this membership platform is designed to give you a roadmap for creating mentally healthy cultures at work! 

Through exclusive masterclasses, live expert Q&As and the latest wellbeing at work trends, plus a community of like-minded people to share ideas, all the while finding fulfillment and joy in your work again. 

What you’ll receive:

Monthly Masterclasses and Q&As

These live events will tackle the big subjects in a practical and realistic way.
