People are the centre of any organisation, not policies, strategies, etc. Your people ARE your most important asset!
You can have the best strategy, interesting training, the most comprehensive policies but if the people do not have emotional intelligence then strategies etc can’t be effectively implemented.
The Weel Approach for Business improves mental wellbeing and performance in the workplace. A flourishing workforce with healthy mental wellbeing increases the productivity of a company. Building emotional intelligence.
It’s becoming more and more important for employers to recognise the benefits of investing in the wellbeing of their employees. Research shows that nearly two thirds of UK employees experience stress in their jobs, and, in a CBI survey of over 800 companies, 98% of respondents said mental health should be a company concern. One in 5 people feel they couldn’t tell their boss if they were stressed at work (poll by Mind).
Why invest in your workforce?
A successful business is only as good as the people working in it. It doesn’t matter whether you are an SME or a multinational, a thriving business and flourishing employees are more productive. That’s why keeping your employees in good mental shape is so vital.

The Programme
The Weel Approach for Business Core Programme helps people to build an internal locus of control, the belief that they have the power to affect what happens to them in their lives.
People who are more resilient, who feel in control of themselves, who have better self-esteem and who demonstrate self-efficacy, self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy and social skills will not only flourish themselves but also help others to thrive too. Studies show that people with these emotional intelligence skills are not only more productive, they are also physically and psychologically healthier, have improved mental wellbeing.
