Wellbeing training at the heart of Covid recovery for SMEs

Posted on by Evan Davidge

SMEs have disproportionately suffered from the worst excesses of Covid-19 despite Government financial lifelines. Their biggest challenge has been in retaining and managing the physical and mental wellbeing of their employees, whilst dealing with the unpredictability of the economic fallout. Those employers who have put their employees’ wellbeing first have generally fared better than those that have not.

With light at the end of the tunnel through new vaccines, there is now an opportunity for SMEs to leverage wellbeing to provide greater resilience and sustainability against future shocks. Knowing where to start and what to aim for is the biggest challenge for SMEs, as well as lacking the resources and wherewithal to plan a wellbeing framework strategy.

This is where the People Leaders’ Virtual Workplace Wellbeing Course can get your organisation off life support and on the road to recovery in 2021; there are a few places remaining on the next course starting on 7th January 2021.

Why ‘Good Work’ is Critical to Future Generations in Wales

Posted on by Evan Davidge

Just published by the Forum for Public Policy Wales, my article explains why ‘good work’ is critical to the Wellbeing Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.  The article explores ways of boosting quality work, such as improving income levels through career progression.  It all encourages Public Service Boards to collaborate with business groups and professional bodies, rather than just engaging with communities through public sector agencies.  It prophesises the creation of a whole systems approach to the Act where all employers are invited as partners to create a thriving and prosperous future for Wales.
