Every part of our working life affects our well-being, including the environment in which we work, how we feel about our work, the organisation and the people we work with.
This workshop will be a great opportunity to:
- take some time to think about the content of your organisation’s policies
- hear suggestions and advice about how to change your policies to better support well-being in your workplace
- share ideas with other managers and team leaders on how to make policies effective and meaningful
- discuss what to include in a well-being at work policy
- get policy templates and links to further resources and support you could include.
Workshop: how to support people who are new to living and working in Wales
We know that more people are moving to Wales to provide vital care and support.
Supported and motivated workers are more likely to carry on working for you for longer.
We will share with you a guide that is available to support people who are new to living and working in Wales.
This session will also connect you to other managers and team leaders to share experiences of how to welcome new staff and settle them into their new role.
Webinar: understanding psychological safety
Feeling connected, supported and able to be open and honest are key to feeling psychologically safe at work.
Research tells us that high levels of psychological safety predict good performance, safety and outcomes.
But is this always possible when we feel stressed and have increasing workloads?
This session explores how we can work to maintain psychological safety for ourselves, and the people we work with, in challenging times.
How to create spaces for supportive conversations
Social Care Wales and Canopi
Feeling supported by the people we work with is one of the most important things that affect our well-being at work.
Some people at work will develop relationships which they find supportive – especially when work is challenging. For others, it doesn’t happen as easily.
This session will consider some simple steps you can take to create a workplace where supportive conversations are normal, encouraged and able to happen often.
How to support people to speak up safely at work
'Speaking up safely' arrangements are really important in the workplace. They help to protect the workforce and the people we support and makes for better quality care.
Having the right culture is key for people to be able raise a concern in work and feel they are listened to and supported appropriately throughout.
In this session, we'll look at how compassionate leadership enables people to speak up safely at work. It will include what good ‘speaking up safely’ arrangements looks like and what you should have in place.
