Importance of Wellbeing
The wellbeing of employees goes hand-in-hand with the success of businesses and organisations. For most, wellbeing is not only a moral imperative, but also a strategic one. Companies that proactively address stress and focus on prevention through better work design and early manager interventions see the strongest gains in resilience, innovation, and productivity.
To assist, Irish Life Wellbeing offers bespoke programmes into the future, with live or self-paced training from psychologists, nutritionists, doctors and other experts.
