Workplace wellbeing training: giving people the tools to act
Improving workplace wellbeing and working conditions means giving people across the organisation practical guidance they can use every day.
Managers, HR teams, employee representatives and employees can then better understand what shapes working conditions, build positive working relationships, prevent risks and adopt practices that help teams work well together.
Alixio Group designs and delivers workplace wellbeing training tailored to each organisation: psychosocial risk prevention, mental health, communication and working relationships, management, handling sensitive situations, and wellbeing at work.: giving people the tools to act
Why train managers and teams in workplace wellbeing?
Workplace wellbeing is also built through everyday practices: the way people work together, the quality of management, the ability to engage in dialogue, risk prevention and the response to sensitive situations.
Training a company’s various people makes it possible, in particular, to:
- better understand the challenges of workplace wellbeing and occupational health;
- develop managerial practices that support the team;
- improve communication and working relationships;
- identify the main psychosocial risk factors;
- spot sensitive situations and warning signals;
- prevent and better manage tensions;
- know the schemes and points of contact available in the company.
The aim is to give everyone points of reference and means of action suited to their role, whether it is about preventing risks, improving how the team functions or contributing to better working conditions.
What workplace wellbeing training does Alixio Group offer?
Workplace wellbeing training is not only about preventing difficult situations. It also covers working conditions, the workplace wellbeing relationships, management practices and wellbeing at work.
Alixio Group’s training is organised around three main areas.
Improve working conditions and prevent risks
Give employees, managers and HR teams the guidance they need to act on health and working conditions.
Training can cover, in particular:
- psychosocial risk prevention;
- stress management;
- preventing harassment and sexist behaviour;
- suicide prevention;
- crisis management;
- workplace wellbeing training and the levers for improving it;
- occupational risk assessment;
- preventing musculoskeletal disorders.
Communicate and work together better
Workplace wellbeing also depends on the workplace wellbeing relationships. This training helps participants understand how working relationships work and develop practices that encourage cooperation.
It can, in particular, help them to:
- communicate more effectively at work;
- practise non-violent communication;
- understand and defuse difficult interpersonal situations;
- prevent and manage conflict;
- develop ways of working that encourage cooperation.
Improve wellbeing at work
Some training focuses more directly on the personal resources people draw on in their working lives.
Topics can include, in particular:
- self-confidence and self-acceptance;
- building a positive self-image;
- identifying and overcoming limiting beliefs;
- managing emotions;
- enjoyment and meaning at work.
These sessions are not a substitute for work on the organisation and working conditions. They can complement it by giving participants additional resources to draw on in their day-to-day working lives.
Training formats to suit your needs
Depending on the topic, the audience and the objectives sought, Alixio Group can mobilise different formats.
Proven or bespoke training
Companies can choose existing courses, adapted to the situations their organisation faces, or ask Alixio Group to design a fully bespoke programme.
The content is tailored to the company’s context, the employee groups concerned and the real work situations participants face.
A practical, hands-on approach
The training focuses on participation and practice: role-plays, scenarios, exercises, group discussion and sharing experiences.
The aim is for every participant to leave with guidance and practices they can use straight away in their working environment.
Programmes can be adapted to the needs of people with disabilities.
Webinars to reach a wide audience
Short sessions, including one-hour webinars, can raise awareness among a larger number of employees on topics such as wellbeing, enjoyment or meaning at work.
E-learning modules to share the essentials
Digital modules also make it possible to raise teams’ awareness of priority subjects: psychosocial risks, harassment, everyday sexism, incivility, managing emotions and conflict, diversity and inclusion, and disability.
These formats can be combined within a single programme, alternating awareness-raising, learning and practical application.
How do you build workplace wellbeing training that fits your company?
Identify the needs
Clarify the organisation’s issues, the audiences concerned and the situations they face.
Define the learning objectives
Determine what participants should understand, be able to spot or be able to put into practice by the end of the training.
Adapt the content to real work situations
Build the training around concrete situations to make it easier to take on board and apply.
Embed the learning
Give participants guidance they can draw on after the training, and link it to the organisation’s existing prevention and support schemes.
Training is not enough: making workplace wellbeing part of a wider approach
Training helps prevent problems, but on its own it cannot make up for difficulties linked to how work is organised or a poor working atmosphere.
Where the situation calls for it, training works best as part of a wider approach combining assessment, prevention, support for managers and support for employees.
Alixio Group can therefore bring together:
- assessments of the working atmosphere and psychosocial risks;
- psychosocial risk prevention measures;
- training and awareness-raising;
- conflict management and mediation;
- psychological support;
- support for managers and teams.
Who should receive workplace wellbeing training?
Needs differ according to each person’s responsibilities.
- Managers need guidance to identify sensitive situations, talk with their teams and turn to the right support contacts.
- HR teams need to be able to structure the approach, support managers and coordinate prevention schemes.
- Employee representatives can be involved in prevention work and in monitoring working conditions.
- Employees can also be made aware of occupational health issues, working relationships and the schemes available within the company.
