The trends in the world points to a future where 40% of adults will be obese, and poor mental health and well-

being will also become more common based on current statistics, where 1 in every 5 people experiences some

form of mental disorder at some stage in their life. This will give rise to the number of people living and working

in chronic conditions, which contributes to workplace conflicts, poor work performance, unfinished deadlines,

poor teamwork and cohesion.

Organisations are left with the inevitable burden of poor employee health, which costs tens of millions every

year. The good news is, these risks are highly preventable and manageable! The winners of businesses in the

future will be those with the healthiest employees. Investing in your employees to be Healthier and Happier will

give companies the competitive advantage to Survive and Thrive!

This course is targeted at HR practitioners who would like to understand the impact of mental health and

wellbeing on organisations, and develop and implement a future-ready workplace that nurtures good health and

mental wellbeing. Over a 5-week period, participants will complete a series of coursework on our learning

management system Uniqskills, and be coached by our trainers every week to move their implementation plan
