The Work Well Programme for workforce wellbeing and retention in Healthcare

Training and support for your Team Leaders, and resources for your people, to help them beat stress, manage their time, and thrive in work and life.

No-one's got the bandwidth for it, and it can just feel like 'one more thing to do'

That's where your Team Leaders come in.

They have a huge effect on how their staff manage their time and work, and how the team functions together yet these very people are often the ones who are the most overwhelmed, overworked and stressed and may not have the energy to help their teams in the ways that they want to.

And when it comes to supporting their teams for resilience and wellbeing, they may feel unsupported, worried they might do the wrong thing, and don't have the resources they need to make a sustainable difference.

So, many organisations commission expensive and time-consuming training for their staff to try to deal with the issues.

But getting people in a room for in-person training is costly, challenging, and doesn’t always feel “worth it” for the time it takes out of people’s work days.

Staff can end up feeling patronised or blamed by well-meaning advice delivered by people who have no experience of working in healthcare, and that doesn’t take into account their challenging roles.

The system is stretched and a culture of overwork and exhaustion is tricky to turn around with “generic” wellbeing content. We know that people in caring professions are more likely to suffer from burnout – and often feel intensely guilty about putting themselves first…

and yet, the high rates of stress, exhaustion and burnout impact everyone – from teams struggling to maintain workforce levels and morale, to service users and patients when staff are feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.

That's why we created the Work Well Programme. It's been running since October 2023, and focuses on equipping, training and supporting your Team Leaders to have transformative one-to-one conversations, take a coaching approach and lead their teams without burning out themselves.

We provide deep dive coaching masterclasses and done-for-you activities and videos they can use immediately with their team.

We also provide lunchtime webinars featuring the very best of our Shapes Toolkit Training, created by Doctors who know what it's like to work on the frontline, which ALL staff in the organisation can attend live or watch on catch up.
