Managing Stress in Your Team
Recognise excessive pressure, identify workplace stressors and agree practical action before stress becomes absence or burnout.
Manager Essentials
Build the manager capability your organisation needs now. Choose from six practical 90-minute workshops or combine them into a tailored development programme.
Targeted manager development
Sometimes managers need focused help with one specific part of their role. Manager Essentials makes it easier to address immediate needs without committing people to a full training day.
Every workshop combines essential knowledge, a practical We Are Wellbeing tool, a realistic workplace scenario and an action managers can use straight away.
The workshop series
Each workshop works independently. Combine subjects to create a consistent development pathway around your workforce priorities.
Recognise excessive pressure, identify workplace stressors and agree practical action before stress becomes absence or burnout.
Notice changes, begin a supportive conversation and connect employees with appropriate help without overstepping the manager’s role.
Understand strengths and barriers, discuss individual needs and create clearer, more inclusive ways of working.
Address concerns early, communicate clearly and respond constructively to emotion, resistance and disagreement.
Explore what drives people, use coaching-style questions and turn good intentions into small, realistic actions.
Maintain appropriate contact, lead constructive return-to-work conversations and support a sustainable return.
Practical by design
Managers leave with a clear way to approach the issue—not another set of slides they will never revisit.
Essential knowledge and the manager’s role.
A practical framework or conversation tool.
A realistic workplace scenario and discussion.
