As the interdependent relationship between personal wellbeing and team productivity is realized, businesses are beginning to prioritize wellness for the resilience and benefits it brings.
The Employee Wellness and Stress Management online short course focuses on the impact you can have when you take the steps to improve your own, as well as others, health. Developed by Dr. Grace Gengoux from the Stanford Center for Health Education, you’ll gain strategies to support the self-care of the teams you lead and colleagues you influence, while also focusing on your own wellbeing and personal resilience. With this dual approach, you’ll explore the reciprocal relationship between a ‘healthy you’ and ‘healthy teams’ as you unpack the science and practical examples of self-care. With an understanding of how essential physical health practices are for stress and energy management, you’ll gain the tools and techniques to encourage wellbeing of self and others. The course uses self-reflection, goal setting, and global case studies to guide you as you define your wellness priorities, and build resilience for a fast-paced and complex working world.
This course is suited to individual employees who are invested in their personal wellbeing, and who need the tools to manage stress and enhance resilience in others. Professionals who include consultants, team leaders, and HR managers will benefit from learning to support employee wellbeing, identify signs of stress and burnout, and navigate mental health issues in the workplace. With the tools to cultivate wellness, people managers will get the chance to improve their leadership skills while optimizing their own, as well as their team’s, health. The course is also designed for dedicated healthcare and wellness professionals who need to improve their professional offering and better understand the dynamic between stress and well-being.
Discover the tools to enhance your own and others’ wellbeing as you work through the weekly modules of this online short course.
