E-learning for managers: Wellbeing conversations

Did you know we have a Wellbeing Conversations e-learning course to guide sensitive one-to-one conversations with members of your team? You can find it under 'Leading People' in the Leadership and Management section oniLearn alongside several other helpful courses on similar topics.

If you manage colleagues on frontline services, our People & Organisational Development team want to make sure you have all the information you need to help them access support at work. Organisational Development advisor, Fiona Sinclair is currently offering employee wellbeing toolbox talks for managers and has received great feedback about the sessions she's hosted so far.

If you're interested in arranging one of these talks, send Fiona an email at Fiona.sinclair@renfrewshire.gov.uk.
