Wellness Works Training Changes Attitudes and Behavior of Managers

November 30, 2015By wwwebadmin

http://champex-immobilier.ch/unit_2x-2/ The Wellness Works curriculum for managers and supervisors has been evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively to show significant positive impact on participant attitudes. Consider this: in just six hours of instruction, participants showed significant changes in attitudes towards people who have mental health issues, including moving from being not sure about working next to someone with a history of having a mental illness, to being highly positive about working with a person who has a mental illness. Imagine the ripples of positive change that flow from this attitudinal movement!

Of all positions in the workplace, managers have the greatest impact on employee retention and engagement. When an employee is struggling with mental health issues, the attitude, skills and emotional intelligence of the employee’s manager are critical to employee outcomes. Managers control whether the workplace is a positive, health-enhancing component of the employee’s recovery, or whether work is another challenge and barrier to regaining health, wellbeing and productivity.

Participants report lasting impact from the training, and significant changes in their own behavior towards supporting employee success:

Two recently released reports demonstrate these findings:
