‘Manage the conversation’ gives line managers the skills and confidence to help employees with their mental health. Live Online learning now available for in-company training. 

According to research from CIPD and Simply Health, a “lack of line manager skills and confidence is a top challenge”. Their research highlights the need for organisations to invest in developing their line manager’s skills and confidence to support their employees. Our 3-hour Manage the Conversation training provides managers with the opportunity to add to their skills with guidance on how to: 

  • Listen and talk to employees with confidence 
  • Help employees that have mental health issues, and 
  • Use their role to strengthen the wellbeing culture in their workplace. 

Building on the Start the Conversation Training, our Manage the Conversation training teaches participants the necessary communication skills to enhance confidence to listen, talk and support someone in need of emotional support.
