Work Psychology Network Event: Psychological Wellbeing at Work

Wellbeing is a broad and complex concept, covering everything from everyday moods and emotions to stress and mental health. Work can support wellbeing, but it can also undermine it. At the same time, wellbeing is shaped by factors beyond work, including personality and life outside the workplace.

The relationship between wellbeing and performance is equally nuanced. Feeling good does not automatically lead to better performance, and poor wellbeing does not always mean poor performance.

This session will explore what the evidence tells us about how work affects wellbeing, how wellbeing affects behaviour and performance and what this means for organisations in practice.

Attendees will:

1. Explore what we mean by psychological wellbeing and understand its different dimensions.
2. Examine the evidence on how work can both positively and negatively affect psychological wellbeing.
3. Understand the role of factors inside and outside work in shaping employee wellbeing.
4. Explore the relationship between psychological wellbeing, work behaviour and performance.
5. Consider the practical implications of the research for how organisations approach wellbeing at work.
6. Share experiences with peers and discuss how the evidence can be applied within their own organisational contexts.

We expect to convene senior HR professionals with:

1. Knowledge of applying principles of organisational psychology in the workplace so experiences can be shared for peer learning.
2. A desire to enhance their understanding of organisational psychology and how it can improve employee performance and productivity.
3. An interest in understanding and applying the latest academic research relating to organisational psychology.
4. Significant experience working in generalist roles or CoE’s including OD & transformation, talent, employee experience and/or organisation effectiveness.
