About the Event

WELCOME TO THE WELLBEING BOOTCAMP!

A Two-Day Interactive Workshop For HR Leaders Dedicated To Building Your Personal & Organizational Wellbeing.

There has never been a better time than right now for us to stop, breathe and focus on our personal wellbeing, as well as the wellbeing of those around us.
When Covid-19 hit the world, we in business, were already doing a lot of rebuilding and reorganising. We have all been required to change and adapt at breakneck speed for decades now. The pandemic has presented even more challenges for us.
We have experienced loss and had to say goodbye to people, places and ways of doing things, without being given the opportunity to properly grieve our losses. It’s the perfect time to make a new, workable  plan to secure our well-being, and the health of our organisations, for the future.
During this virtual bootcamp, we will create plans to not just survive but THRIVE during these unprecedented times. Strengthening your personal resilience as well as the flexibility of your teams and the sustainability of your organisation are the best possible ways to THRIVE during the work environment we will face in 2021 and beyond.

What can you expect at the Wellbeing Bootcamp?

Using a ZOOM format, we will gather together HR professionals from, not only diverse locations but also from varied industries. You will discover that you have more in common than you thought with your HR colleagues around the world.
Prior to the workshop, you will receive, digitally, a printable workbook to lead you through the day and help you plan for the future.
Our format is unique in that you might just forget that you’re online because you will be interacting on a 1:1 as well as a group basis, along with having time to reflect and write. Our facilitator and our workbook will provide you with the format to instantly apply the tools you discover and plan ways to apply them in ‘real-time’ on the job.
 

Facts & Figures

What We Will Explore Together: 

  • Why is wellbeing so important to your success and the success of your company?
  • How does having a wellbeing culture make your company more competitive?
  • How can you guide your leaders to understand what healthy leadership looks like?
  • Why is it important to align personal values with the organization's values and purpose?
  • How can wellbeing be sustained when unprecedented and difficult conditions persist?

Reflections Of The Day:


You can hardly believe how fast the time flew by today. We have learned from our workshop contributors and from each other. We have a clearer picture of what we need to do so our resilience is at its peak and we will be strong enough to thrive, not just survive, during this pandemic. 
Let’s share some thoughts with each other, in our small groups, about the first day session. What was new? What insights did you have? Anything we missed that you want to know about? What are your ideas about going into the tomorrow's session?
