Wellbeing For Managers | Managing People Courses | Upskill People

Create a culture of care and communication

This Managing People course episode focuses on removing the stigma attached to mental health issues in the workplace. You’ll learn how to confidently approach team members who may need support, and gain the skills needed to offer that support. All while being an inspiring, empathetic and helpful leader.

Episode 2: The story

Before becoming a manager, Charlotte hadn’t given much thought to handling mental health challenges in the workplace. But she’s learned that managing people is just as important as balancing the books. Lately, she’s noticed that Rosie has been turning up late to shifts, with a scruffier appearance than usual. Anna’s also been making a few mistakes, and has snapped at her colleagues more than once. How can Charlotte get to the root of their issues without upsetting them? And while staying in-tune with their unique communication styles?

Key takeaways from the wellbeing for managers episode


  • What it means to watch, engage, listen, and lead

  • Better understanding of wellbeing for managers in the workplace

  • Ability to communicate confidently and sensitively

Welcome to Rise and Dine – a fictional cafe with a whole lot of real-world challenges. In each course, you’ll make decisions for their new manager, Charlotte. She needs to turn the team around and restore the cafe to its former glory.

While our story takes place in a cafe, the situations Charlotte faces will be familiar to any manager, in any sector. We guarantee your managers will relate all-too-well to her plights – and be invested in helping her succeed.
