Overview

Workplace Wellbeing course overview

Workplace wellbeing is often mistaken for wellness and reduced to visible initiatives like fruit bowls and one-off activities. In reality, it is shaped by organisational factors, personal capacity, and how work is experienced day to day. When these factors are not recognised or managed well, stress and workload pressures can build over time, impacting individuals personally and creating wider organisational challenges. This one-day Workplace Wellbeing course is designed for leaders, supervisors, and those responsible for supporting the health and safety of their teams.
 
We don’t rely on generic, feel-good content or lecture-style delivery. Developed in collaboration with Chartered Organisational Psychologist Frank O’Connor, this course is grounded in practical approaches to workplace wellbeing. Our experienced trainers guide learners through structured content supported by activities and discussion that reinforce key concepts. Participants develop the skills to recognise early signs of stress, understand the relationship between wellbeing and performance, and apply practical strategies to support individuals and improve wellbeing across their teams.
 
IMPAC’s focus is on building practical capability so leaders can take a structured and consistent approach to workplace wellbeing. Participants step back into the workplace equipped to recognise factors impacting wellbeing, take appropriate action, and support a work environment that protects the health and safety of their people.

Our approach

+IMPAC's Workplace Wellbeing training approach

This workplace wellbeing course is a practical, discussion-led learning experience designed for people who need to apply wellbeing in real work environments, not just understand the theory. Learning focuses on the organisational factors that shape wellbeing, including workload, stress, work demands, support, and the wider work environment, so learners can recognise how these show up in everyday work.

Training is supported by structured activities and shared discussion, helping learners to recognise early signs of stress, have effective conversations, and take practical steps that support both people and performance.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

This course is suited to leaders, supervisors, health and safety advisors, and others with responsibility for or an interest in workplace wellbeing. It is particularly useful for people who influence workload, team culture, early support conversations, or day-to-day decisions affecting worker wellbeing.

Workplaces increasingly need to understand how work can affect wellbeing, including stress, fatigue, workload, and other psychosocial factors. While workplace wellbeing training is not specifically required by law, organisations still need to manage health risks that may affect workers physically or psychologically. Training helps support healthier workplaces, practical wellbeing awareness, and safer work practices.

No, there are no prerequisites for this course.

This course is available as public training, live online via Zoom, self-paced eLearning, and in-house delivery. This gives organisations and individual learners flexibility around how they complete workplace wellbeing training.

The Workplace Wellbeing course runs for 1 day for both face-to-face and live online delivery, allowing learners to work through workplace wellbeing concepts, psychosocial risk factors, and practical wellbeing approaches that can be applied in the workplace.

Learners gain a practical understanding of workplace wellbeing and how it links to stress, work design, and performance. By the end of the course, they should be better able to recognise factors affecting wellbeing, understand the workplace health and safety context, and apply practical actions that support healthier and more sustainable work practices.

Yes, this course is available for in-house delivery nationwide. In-house training can help managers, supervisors, and health and safety teams develop a more consistent understanding of workplace wellbeing, psychosocial risks, and supportive workplace practices.

For the pre-recorded webinar, you'll need a government-issued photo ID and a working camera on your device to complete the quiz. This course uses Asgard, a biometric identity verification tool built into IMPAC's learning system, which checks your ID against your face to confirm it's really you sitting the assessment. Because there's no live facilitator watching a pre-recorded session, this step verifies your identity electronically instead, so the certificate reflects who actually completed the course. Asgard discards your ID immediately after verification — it isn't stored in any system.

Pricing depends on the delivery method.

In-house: $3950 + GST for up to 12 persons, with additional persons charged at $255 + GST each (maximum of 16).
