IHSCM Workforce Wellbeing Conference

The Institute of Health & Social Care Management exists purely to support and encourage the development of its thousands of members and has a number of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) available to members and non members. We have several SIGs that highlight particular themes and functions within Health & Social Care and meet to network and plan events and reports.

Join us for a virtual conference organised by the members of our Workforce Wellbeing Special Interest Group. 

Attendees will receive practical and physical tools to practice on the day and implement them back into their workplace.

Agenda:

14:00-14:05 Welcome - Jon Wilks, CEO, IHSCM

14:05-14:25 The Cave Community - Join Jon Wilks, CEO, IHSCM & Sue Jones, Director of Social Care, IHSCM for an insightful session as they discuss the inbuilt human psyche and consider the lessons we can learn from prehistoric humans on wellbeing and the power of community collaboration for collective prosperity.

IHSCM Members can attain 2 High Performance Leadership Framework points for attending this session, towards Workforce.

14:25-14:45 Wellbeing Programmes: The Great, The Good and The Ugly. We will be joined by Jamie Humphrey, CEO & Co-founder of ReechUs Wellbeing, Lisa LLoyd HG.Dip.P, CPsychol, MSc., P.G.C.E., BSc.Hons, Chartered Psychologist, Psychotherapist & Founder of It’s Time for Change, and Gemma Ellison, Founder, Heart Leadership for a though provoking session as we explore wellbeing programmes from the perspective of both employee health & environment health. 

Is your organisation's wellbeing programme truly cutting-edge or perhaps veering off course? Let's delve into how a well-designed programme can foster a high-performance culture and support employees' optimal health.

Jamie will join us to discuss employee health for the individual, followed by Lisa and Gemma on environment health of an organisation. 

The ugly - acceptance/ normalisation of unhealthy cultures and practices that fail to prioritise employee needs that enable them to experience good health, a fulfilling experience and high performance.

The good - beginning to question existing practice. Join us for prompts and resources for leaders to self-reflect and to discuss with their teams.

The great - intentional development of day-to-day practice that is shown to have the most impact on how people feel and what they experience at work. 

Come and discover a process that empowers people to make positive, realistic and sustainable change.

Lisa LLoyd gets very excited about putting the human factor back into business, by creating workplaces where employees excel, where teams are aligned and where people are happy. Her mantra is simple… get people right, get business right. As a psychologist, psychotherapist and founder of It’s Time for Change, Lisa works collaboratively and creatively with organisations, using evidence-based practice. She supports leaders and HR professionals to develop sustainable, high-performing and engaged teams with psychological safety and positive mental wellbeing at the centre. She gets beyond tick boxes, beneath the surface of shiny new initiatives, strips back complexity, and gets back to the fundamentals of good business – its people. Think traditional leadership development, team-bonding and mental health approaches turned on their head! Find out more about her bespoke approach on her website, It’s Time for Change.

Gemma Ellison started her career as a Family Law Solicitor, where she was recognised both city-wide and nationally for her work in the child protection arena.
