Employee Wellbeing Program: Culture, Benefits, Metrics [EN]

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Wellbeing programmes rarely fail for lack of budget. They fail because they were launched as a communications campaign rather than as a change to how the company works.

The version that does not work

A wellbeing week. A meditation app licence. An email about balance from someone senior. Three months later the numbers are identical, because the workload never changed, no manager was trained, and nothing was measured before or after, so nobody can even say whether it failed. I have approved exactly that programme and defended it for a quarter before admitting it had done nothing.

What this course actually covers

Six blocks, in the order a real programme gets built. First, the model: what wellbeing at work consists of, why the classical version stopped being enough, and how to prepare the ground and the business case before announcing anything. Second, diagnosis — auditing the conditions in your own organisation that produce stress and burnout, and training managers to notice them. Third, what you actually offer: the types of benefit, flexible packages, the return on investment argument, budgeting and administration. Fourth, culture, because a negative one cancels any programme silently and without a meeting. Fifth, engagement as the opposite pole, measured with Gallup Q12 and turned into a manager action plan. Sixth, six lessons on surveys: types, question design, scales, running them, the report, and the action plan that keeps the programme funded.

What this course is not

It is not therapy and it is not clinical advice. If you are personally in a difficult place, a professional is a better first step than any course. This material was recorded for people responsible for the conditions others work under, so it treats wellbeing as something an organisation designs, budgets and measures.

Where to start

Find out two things before lesson one: what your company currently spends on wellbeing, and what it measured last time. If the second answer is nothing, the budget is being spent without any way of knowing whether it works. Enrol now and start today.
