Event details

This event looked at two popular and topical organisational themes – the role of line managers and employee health and wellbeing. We explored how the role of line managers has changed and how important it is for employers, employees and organisations to ensure that their line managers understand how their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of their direct reports can have an impact on organisational outcomes. The session included both IES input and group discussions.
