The Science of Wellbeing: Evidence-based Training

In-House Training Courses > The Science of Wellbeing: Evidence-based Training

Using scientific evidence to influence decisions about wellbeing can help team members adopt actions, choices, and grow the mindset needed to bring success and avoid aspirations and actions which are often thought
to keep us well, but don’t.

Why understanding the science of wellbeing is so important

Humans are complex. Whatever we might read, there is no blueprint, no one-size-fits-all when it comes to protecting our emotional health and wellbeing. When considering where best to apply our efforts, science can focus our actions on those most likely to be successful. This includes:

  • rewiring the brain to think more clearly and positively
  • identifying and using your strengths
  • the value of building the gratitude attitude and tuning attention to the positive
  • why connection with others is so important for your wellbeing.

This course draws on the fascinating scientific research now available from teams of neuroscientists, psychologists and social scientists worldwide. Focusing on an evidence based approach can help both individuals and managers explore positive actions to improve their personal wellbeing and to create the optimal working environment for their teams.

Key benefits of attending this course

Through exploring an evidence based approach to wellbeing, participants will:

  • focus on physical, mental, emotional and social behaviours which have been proven to enhance wellbeing
  • identify current habits which are not conducive to wellbeing
  • consider shifting goals and spending time and energy on activities which will make a difference
  • build better relationships and connections with others
  • make more informed choices to improve individual, team and organisational wellbeing
  • create a happier, more productive work environment
