Event: Chamber Webinar – A business case for investing in wellbeing

Staff wellbeing is perhaps even more important in these challenging times as employees and managers navigate new ways of working, but how can you tell if you are getting the most wellbeing benefit for the cost of the intervention? This webinar introduces you to cost-effectiveness analysis to support investment choices for improving workplace wellbeing.
