From Zero to Hero - How to Get Your Managers to Support Employee Well-Being

Thursday, September 17, 2020, 1:00 pm CT

Everyone’s personal circumstances are being tested, so HR needs to ensure that people’s well-being is taken care of, but this isn’t just the job of HR.

Managers can be both the champions of well-being and the blocker to supporting people. They have the most direct impact on employee well-being and productivity but have never been in a situation like this. We shouldn’t just expect them to nail it.

When managers are skeptical of new or different practices and expectations, one of two things will happen. They either run for the hills or they flourish. Having well-being conversations as part of regular check-ins with their team is a must.

The biggest question of all is how. How do you get managers to fix-up and start having those well-being conversations?” And, How do you champion and utilize those who do?

During this webinar we’ll explore:

The importance of having manager-employee well-being conversations
How HR can support line managers to have well-being conversations
How to turn skeptical managers into advocates
