The Missing Link Between Wellbeing & Performance

In every sector—corporate, education, healthcare, and government—leaders are facing the same challenges:

• Clients and students are disengaging.

• Staff are mentally checking out.

• Burnout and turnover are rising.

• Traditional wellbeing initiatives aren’t solving the problem.

The issue? Most approaches focus on surface-level symptoms, not the root causes affecting engagement, performance, and productivity.

This workshop introduces a new way of thinking about wellbeing—one that directly connects organisational success with evidence-based wellbeing strategies. Backed by 16 years of research, the Universal Wellbeing Model (UWM) and Universal Wellbeing Evaluation Tool (UWET) provide a practical, data-driven approach to fixing hidden productivity blockers before they impact staff, clients, and overall business performance.

What You’ll Gain

🔹 Insights into why people disengage—and how to reverse it.
🔹 A structured approach to identifying and solving hidden productivity challenges.
🔹 Research-backed strategies that drive long-term impact—not just short-term relief.

Who Should Attend?
