WellBeing World has launched the inaugural ‘Leaders in WellBeing Summit & Awards’ to celebrate the wellbeing related activities of organisations and individuals in the Channel Islands; including corporates, entrepreneurs, health and wellbeing practitioners, government departments, schools, and not-for-profit organisations.
Founder of Leaders in WellBeing, and Director of WellBeing World and WellBeing At Work, Beverley Le Cuirot commented: “Promoting a culture that improves the health and wellbeing of employees is good management and leads to healthy and productive workplaces. High levels of physical and psychological wellbeing amongst employees has shown to lead to lower absence levels; attraction and retention of talented people; and more satisfied customers, clients and service users.”
“First and foremost, this is the right thing to do for employees, but it is also beneficial for the business, and ultimately for the community as a whole. It is in everyone’s best interests to use everything in their power to find the edge in business; employees hold the key to this. The time is right for all employers, large and small, to embrace these principles,” Mrs Le Cuirot added.

The Leaders in WellBeing Summit will host a range of local and international expert speakers who will address key topical aspects of leadership and wellbeing in the workplace.
