IOSH Managing Occupational Health and Wellbeing

IOSH Managing Occupational Health and Wellbeing is for managers and supervisors working in any sector, and for any organisation. It’s designed to provide them with the tools and techniques to improve health and wellbeing across their organisation. They won’t suddenly become health and wellbeing experts – but it will help them to become line managers who truly care about the health and wellbeing of an organisation’s most important asset – its people.

The biggest asset your organisation has is its people; the biggest asset they have is their health and wellbeing – so it makes good business sense for you to look after it!

Did you know 69% of line managers have not been trained how to recognise poor mental health in their employees. Find out more about the role of line managers in promoting positive mental health > Management Today and the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) set out to examine the role line managers play in promoting positive mental health in the workplace.

IOSH Managing Health and Wellbeing Course Overview

Health and wellbeing have become a strategic consideration for businesses. Increasingly organisations need to focus on both what they do and how they do it.

An organisation that is healthy and well is more likely to be productive, innovative and competitive.
