    Healthy Employees are the Key Driver of Organisational Performance

    Healthy employees are the key driver of organisational performance - with Geoff McDonald, Cate Murden, Sarah Crinnion and Susan Kashyap "What can we do in HR to help line managers to better support employees that are struggling with mental health issues?" "We’ve already rolled out Mental Health Awareness training. But how can we increase self-awareness of wellbeing?" "What types of mental health activities do you recommend as being helpful to remote working employees?" "We have unhappy employees but I feel powerless to change anything. We have a high turnover of staff and high sickness rates so we have the data but how can I get the importance of investment in wellbeing across to our senior managers?" These were just some of the questions asked by HR practitioners in our https://www.theaccessgroup.com/en-gb/hr/resources/wellbeing-mental-health-in-workplace/webinar-employee-wellbeing-at-work/ (latest webinar) on stress, presenteeism and the impact of the pandemic on workplace wellbeing. In order to try and answer some of these questions, we asked a number of experts for their advice. In this podcast, four workplace wellbeing specialists and practitioners discuss and debate on how to tackle the stigma of mental health, particularly in competitive working environments, and provide some practical tips for building the business case for investment in wellbeing programmes and initiatives that yield demonstrable results. We're joined by Business Transformation Advisor & Mental Health Campaigner Geoff McDonald, Founder; CEO of PUSH Mind and Body Cate Murden; Wellbeing Lead for Virgin Money UK Sarah Crinnion; and Wellbeing Champion Lead at The Access Group Susan Kashyap, with host Donald Taylor, Chair of Learning Technologies Conference.

    Preparing for the unknown jobs and skills of the future with Laura Overton, Shilpa Shah, Belinda Johnson & Garry Goldman  We keep hearing how the world of work has changed dramatically but hasn’t it always been evolving? We know the pace of change has increased, but not only due to the pandemic. The need to review workplace skills began with the rise of automation, which is increasingly replacing many tasks, and sometimes entire jobs.  To be truly effective, HR departments will need to think beyond skills training, and focus more on integrating learning and development with their talent and recruitment functions for a holistic view to support future skills planning. To demonstrate success, we all need to better understand our people data and analytics and use it strategically to support recruitment decision-making, talent management and succession planning.  To discuss in more detail we’re joined by author, facilitator and award-winning learning analyst Laura Overton; Global Head of Talent Acquisition at GE Healthcare Shilpa Shah; Founder of Worklab Belinda Johnson and Head of L&D at The Access Group Garry Goldman, with host Donald Taylor, Chair of Learning Technologies Conference.
