There is currently much concern about workplace health and well-being yet the practices and policies deployed in organizations to tackle these issues do not seem to be effective. The main reason for this is that HR (and other functions) do not adopt an evidence-based approach. This session will: 1. Describe the origins of evidence-based HR 2. Discuss its three main principles and their purpose 3. Outline a model of evidence-based HR 4. Apply this model to a workplace well-being issue 5. Consider the main barriers to evidence-based HR and how these can be overcome.

It's time to rediscover job design as a strategic HR tool. We've lost the art of good job design in HR and across organisations. Too many roles today are rigid and standardised, failing to harness the full potential of our diverse workforce. This has led to disengagement, diminished wellbeing, and suboptimal performance. By empowering employees to personalise their work through concepts such as SMART work design and job crafting, we can reignite intrinsic motivation, boost wellbeing, and unlock a new era of performance. What we'll share: 1) Actionable ideas and insights about good work design principles 2) Agile alternatives to traditional job descriptions such as the Job Canvas 3) Practical ways to foster personalisation at work through concepts such as job crafting. The session will be evidence informed, insight rich and full of practical examples. And fun.

This session introduces a new, definitive standard for wellbeing leadership derived from interviews with twenty-one accomplished leaders featured on the Working Well Beings Podcast. By distilling their collective wisdom, we identified nine key habits essential for effectively fostering health, happiness, and fulfilment within teams and organisations. Attendees will gain practical insight into what sets extraordinary wellbeing leaders apart and learn how to apply these habits to their own contexts, ensuring they can lead with authenticity, empathy, and impact. We also need your help! The session will be fun and interactive - getting you to innovate around the framework and co-create something we can all take away.
