Managers Health Accelerator

Service Description

Line managers and team leaders carry a large responsibility for their team's collective wellbeing, but what about their own chances of sickness & burnout? It's easy for managers self-care to slip, or in many cases to have never have existed. Whilst fine in bursts, this is unsustainable over the long term. Can teams and businesses tolerate days without managers firing on all cylinders or being absent from work due to preventable health issues? Even seemingly harmless habits like excessive sitting, not taking breaks, and working into the evening can catch up in the form of central obesity (excess fat around our middle and therefore internal organs) which is often precursor to a range of chronic health problems like high blood pressure, type 2 Diabetes & heart disease that affect quality of life and performance at work. To help managers avoid these complications, we created the 'Managers Health Accelerator' to help empower them to take a proactive and preventative approach to their own health and wellbeing. After an initial 2-hour online workshop which teaches line managers the process of health habit design (adding/removing habits) they will enter into a 90 day coaching phase (led by a health coach of 15 years) to establish & grow a proactive health routine to serve them for life. We encourage managers to take a holistic approach to their health, by designing habits across what we call the 'Super-6' wellness zones: Physical Mental Emotional Social Spiritual Financial Price - £1250 per manager/team leader “I offered the Managers Health Accelerator to our business as part of our wellbeing strategy & took part myself. I recognised straight away that I could benefit and achieve a change in my life through this process. The thing I found most helpful was the idea of ‘starting small’. I often avoid starting something that I don’t believe I can achieve. But the focus on starting small helped me to understand the cumulative benefit of small actions. The programme has resulted in a noticeable improvement in my self-care as I now do it unconsciously. The Managers Health Accelerator programme can move people from viewing something as “impossible” to “possible” provided they make a small effort on a regular basis and form a habit. It is a practical way of building change into our lives without the need to make a massive change but achieving massive beneficial results.” Maureen Tallis, 65, Head of People – Associated Asphalt Ltd.
