October 2 - November 12, 2023 | Six-week course

This course explores the importance and relevance of kindness and well-being in the workplace for people in all roles. It supports people to look after their own well-being, improve the well-being of others and create a kind workplace. We will look at a range of topics, from theories of job demands and personal resources to the future of work.

By understanding the benefits of kindness and well-being at individual, group, and organisational levels, we can create a healthier and more productive workplace for everyone.

The themes covered will be:

  • What is kindness and how does it help well-being?
  • Introduction to kindness and well-being
  • Kindness and working relationships – including communication, and strength-based teams
  • Wellbeing at work
  • Personal resources regarding their meaning in life, emotional intelligence and empathy, and compassion at work
  • Kindness at work around the professional culture and climate
  • The future of work
