What is it?
People who feel what they do is meaningful & valued are more motivated & productive. The best leaders know the importance of having healthy, happy staff.
We work with you to embed a culture of long-term wellbeing into your organisation.
Our insights transform the levels of wellbeing for both individuals & teams. This includes one-to-ones & small group workshops to develop the essential skills of GUSTO (enthusiasm, motivation, curiosity), GRIT (resilience, stress management, goal setting) & GROWTH (mindset, confidence, adaptability).
Why is it important?
While there are philanthropic reasons for improving employees’ wellbeing as David McDaid from the LSE said, “What is clear is that there is a sound economic case for investing in effective preventative measures.”
Deloitte reports show staff costs to employers in 2020-21 due to poor mental health was £56 billion, with 61% of those resigning citing this as the primary reason. However, the same report says for every £1 invested in staff wellbeing, employers see a return of over £5.
Yes, the primary focus is looking after your people, but this produces a win-win situation as you will be able to attract, develop and retain the best talent.
How does it work?
Our method starts with a benchmark resilience & wellbeing survey.
Selected staff can then take the GC Index® with a one-to-one review. This outlines their individual proclivities & the positive impact they make, in addition to identifying new opportunities to boost productivity & personal job satisfaction.
Team snapshots give an overview of collective energy such as inclusive, dominant & potential impact + existing leadership combinations.
Finally, our CPD programme covers a deeper awareness of mental health, effective stress management & resilience techniques, emotional intelligence & long-term strategies to support everyone’s wellbeing.
What is the impact?
When employee wellbeing is improved, the benefits & impact are significant, including greater resilience, higher levels of engagement, creativity & productivity, reduced absences & presenteeism, plus better staff retention rates.
Your members of staff feel more satisfied & valued, with a greater ability to cope with day-to-day stresses, overcome problems & adapt successfully to changes.
It also sends out a very clear & positive message about your company’s values and ethics that will help you attract and importantly retain the most talented people in your industry.
Our Testimonials
I found it interesting when I learned about my profile, and it probably confirmed what I already knew deep down. The session with Jon made me think about my role and how imposter syndrome stops me from seeing my contribution at times. I can now consider my proclivities and how I am in the perfect job for me. I asked Jon to also do the Young People Index for my daughter and was more surprised by her profile than she was, and she is using it as part of her university planning.

We used the services of Headstrong Training during the middle of the pandemic. Lisa provided an incredible training day for my team that helped to stabilise us during a very rocky period. One or two of the team used some of Lisa’s techniques and achieved almost instant results! We will be using Headstrong Training again in the near future.
