DSE Wellbeing Champion Network

What do the Wellbeing Champions Do?

The Wellbeing Champions’ aims are:

• To support long-lasting good health, happiness and purpose for our colleagues.
• Identify opportunities to improve wellbeing across the Directorate.
• To promote the wellbeing agenda and support our employees to work towards being sustainable themselves.

Ways in which the Wellbeing Champions hope to achieve this include:

• Promotion of the Manchester Six Ways to Wellbeing framework
• Embed the Six ways to wellbeing in all activities and communications.
• Engaging with staff to ask them how they feel should Wellbeing should be improved.
• Deliver a Wellbeing induction to all new starters.

It is important to note that a Staff Wellbeing Champion will not take the place of specialist support services such as Occupational Health and the Counselling Service. Rather they can advise on where a colleague can access wellbeing services.
