Research carried out by the New Economics Foundation found that there are 5 simple steps you can take to improve your wellbeing every day; they are:  

• Connect  
• Be Active 
• Learn  
• Take Notice 
• Give  

Our Leadership, Skills and Social Impact programmes can help businesses to use these themes to not only improve the wellbeing of their workforce but to build people strategies and practices that transform their workplace culture – improving leadership capabilities, bringing the best out of the team, enhancing diversity, and creating positive social impact. 

Connect  

As said by Aristotle, the legendary Greek philosopher, “Man is a social animal”. Humans are social creatures who rely on and thrive in the presence of others. Good relationships and meaningful connections are essential for our wellbeing. Our Mentoring Specialist, Adele Cope, shares the importance of connection through Mentoring. With our fantastic Mentoring programme, we’re matching like-minded individuals to create meaningful relationships that have a lasting impact. For more information:

Be Active 

We all know that being active is good not only for our physical health but also for our mental wellbeing. However, it might be difficult for those with a desk job in the office. Our Wellbeing Specialist, Emma Connolly, shares how to stay active in the workplace. Check out Emma’s upcoming well-being events here:

Learn  

When we talk about learning today, it might be viewed as the capability of a Generative AI that enabled itself to evolve. However, learning is actually the defining capability of Human intelligence, which helps build a better civilisation. Our Workforce Development Advisor, Clare Davis, shares the benefits of continued learning. As a great way to boost self-esteem, it is also an excellent tool for Mental Health. Clare encourages Greater Manchester’s businesses and individuals to visit the GM Skills Map to find out the fully funded courses available:

Take Notice  

In today’s complicated world with so many distractions, leaders and managers of business might sometimes forget to check on themselves as they are juggling so many other things. Our Leadership Specialist, Jo Lord, reminds people to take notice and be present as a way to help them be aware of how they are feeling. With Leading Self as the introductory workshop in the new Pure Leadership series, Jo shares the importance of focusing on Leading Self as a greater level of self-awareness. For more information:

Give Back 

As more companies embrace the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), they are seeking a way to maximise their social impact by giving back to the community. To complete the 5 steps to wellbeing, our Social Value Specialist Paul Vicario, showcases how research into giving back can contribute towards improved wellbeing. Following on from Paul’s presentation along with his colleague Nadir Sultan at the Match – Power in Partnerships event, Paul signposts viewers to check out our Social Value workshops to see how we can help Greater Manchester make a difference in their local community.
