Human Resources Webinars

The number of employees working with terminal illness is increasing but many employers struggle to understand how best to support them. During the last six months, the Centre, in partnership with Marie Curie, has been working with HR leads and Occupational Health professionals from across different sectors and workplaces. In this webinar, we’ll share what we’ve found to be the key ingredients of workplace policies and procedures and discuss how these can be implemented to have maximum effect.

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a powerful and long-lasting impact on individuals across many life arenas, including physical and mental health, family, and work. Employers today acknowledge the connection between worker health and worker morale, performance, and turnover; thus, the majority have invested in some type of a low-cost employee wellbeing program to combat these issues. While an employer’s ROI in a wellbeing program is generally good, even with very low utilization, the VOI (value of investment) of wellbeing programs is commonly not maximized due to a number of easily corrected issues. Upon completion, attendees will be able to: 1) Differentiate between a wellness program and a wellbeing program. 2) Compare and contrast “price” vs. “value” of a wellbeing program. 3) Summarize 7 practical ways to maximize the value of a wellbeing program.
