HR Summer SchoolWellbeing and the bottom-lineWhat are the goals for your wellbeing expenditures? Are they to save money or make money? Do you measure the outcomes, or is it just the right thing to do? How do you explain the benefits to your staff, and do they actually value what you are providing to them? In a tight labour market, employers must work harder to attract and retain people. They must also adjust to longer working lives. The aim of this year’s summer school is to explore the changing perceptions of an employer’s responsibility for employee wellbeing. What is fad and fashion, and what is delivering real benefit to the employment relationship?

Most employers already spend significant amounts of money on employee wellbeing without making it clear to their staff the value of these benefits. Over the course of two days, we aim to provide you with a better understanding of a range of wellbeing interventions – their benefits and costs. We will also cover the motivation behind these initiatives and the role HR has to play in their design, delivery and success.

Who should attend?This course is aimed at ambitious HR professionals who want to be more effective in their roles. Each talk is intended to help you think about aspects of wellbeing, how it can add to your organisation’s vision and purpose, and the part HR must play. Delegate questions and comments are encouraged throughout. The more you put into this course, the more you will take away from it.

Presentations cover: — reasons and motives for encouraging wellbeing, from recruitment to retention, and the role of leaders

— interventions that make a difference: implementation and costs

— views on employer responsibility: including policy-makers, doctors, lawyers and the Police

— employers’ objectives and employee perception, and ways to track and demonstrate benefits

— will wellbeing programmes become the norm, and how might they develop in the future?
