Navigating Wellbeing at Work
Expert facilitation to align leaders, focus on priorities, and drive organisational growth
We believe that a sharp focus on employee wellbeing is an essential element of organisation success. In today’s ever-changing workplace, robust leadership support is essential for charting a course towards a positive, resilient and high-performing work environment.
Why Wellbeing Matters
A supportive leader can make all the difference in ensuring that crew members feel valued,
empowered and ready to face the challenges of daily work. When employees are well cared
for, they are more motivated and engaged, which leads to:
-
Enhanced Performance: With clear guidance and support, team members perform at their best.
-
Reduced Stress and Burnout: Leaders who set clear expectations, promote a healthy work-life balance, and offer support during rough seas help keep stress at bay.
-
Improved Retention: A positive, inclusive culture lowers turnover, ensuring that your best talent remains on board.
-
Boosted Creativity and Innovation: When individuals feel safe to share ideas and take risks, the organisation can innovate and adapt more readily.
-
Stronger Organisational Culture: Leaders who prioritise wellbeing create a workplace where every crew member is trusted and inspired to thrive.

The Five Elements of Wellbeing
Drawing on insights from Gallup’s extensive global research, we are convinced that a thriving workplace is built on five universal elements:
Career Wellbeing
Enjoying the work you do every day.
Social Wellbeing
Nurturing meaningful connections and friends.
Financial Wellbeing
Effectively managing your financial resources.
Physical Wellbeing
Maintaining the energy and health to get things done.
Community Wellbeing
Feeling content with the place you call home.
By anchoring these elements in your leadership approach, you can help every member of your team set a course for a more fulfilling life both at work and beyond.
How Leaders Can Guide Wellbeing
Any ship's captain would be delighted to know that their entire crew were feeling satisfied, content and confident. Here are some key strategies for supporting employee wellbeing:
-
Build Open Communication: Regularly check in with your team. Listen actively and provide clear, transparent updates.
-
Allow Flexible Work Arrangement: Offer options such as remote work or flexible hours to accommodate personal needs.
-
Promote Work-Life Home Balance: Encourage taking breaks, using holiday time, and disconnecting when needed.
-
Foster Mental Health Awareness: Normalise conversations about mental health and ensure access to support resources.
-
Encourage Positive Feedback and Recognition: Celebrate achievements to build confidence and morale.
-
Lead by Example: Demonstrate self-care and healthy time management — after all, a captain's behaviour sets the tone for the entire crew.
Measuring and Cultivating Wellbeing
Wellbeing isn’t just an abstract concept; it’s measurable. Tools like the Life Evaluation Index help organisations understand how employees feel about their current and future wellbeing. By regularly assessing these factors, leaders can adjust their strategies, ensuring that the journey toward enhanced wellbeing remains on course.
