In a new series of six exclusive interviews, Professor Ivan Robertson from one of our delivery partners, Robertson Cooper, outlines some practical and effective approaches to driving workplace well being and employee engagement.
Film 1 – Employee Engagement
People who are truly engaged with their organization have a strong sense of purpose. Ivan explains that a disconnect will happen when people are badly managed and their workplace experience contaminated. This in turn has an adverse affect on how your people will behave.
Film 2 – Relating Well Being to Engagement
Ivan explains why it is important to bring the functions of HR led staff engagement policies and health and safety led welfare programmes together. Only by taking a more strategic view will businesses achieve real results.
Film 3 - The Business Case
National level reports clearly support the idea that engagement and well being interventions deliver business benefits. The second step is translating that to your business and that means measuring issues such as sickness, absence and performance levels.
Film 4 – The Impact
Ivan argues the case for a well being audit which will reveal how people across your business feel about issues around well being and engagement. This will identify what is getting in the way of people doing their jobs and establish the key drivers going forward.
Film 5 – The Leadership Role
Anyone in a management or supervisory role needs to understand the key drivers to employee well being and engagement. Examining their natural style can transform the way some managers deal with their work group.
Film 6 – Employee Resilience
Professor Ivan Robertson explains the concept of employee resilience in the workplace, how interventions can help people improve their capacity to cope with adversity and why it is possible to recruit a resilient workforce.
In a series of exclusive interviews, Professor Cary Cooper CBE, from Robertson Cooper, gives us a compelling update on latest developments around employee engagement and workplace well being.
Film 1 – Mental Capital & Well Being
Cary discusses the Foresight Mental Capital & Well Being project on which he was a Lead Scientist. He explains the concept of mental capital, the importance of well being audits and how improving health and well being is clearly linked with greater productivity
Film 2 – Presenteeism
Cary discusses the shocking cost of presenteeism which is costing UK businesses around £15 billion a year. Here he argues that a service based economy allows us to work smarter as opposed to longer.
Film 3 – The Effects of the Recession
As the recession bites people are working longer hours and indulging in all manner of self protecting behaviours that will damage your business performance. Cary calls for a new style of leadership which manages people not by fear, but by praise and reward.
Film 4 – Public Sector Job Cuts
Cary considers ways that public service organisations can accommodate major job cuts and says that better trained managers will be able to find new ways to deliver good public services, but differently to what has gone before.
Film 5 – Best Practice
Cary considers some beacons of good employee engagement and calls for those organisations that operate a command and control culture to adopt new ways of working to help improve workplace wellbeing.
