Workshop overview

Well-being is not something people achieve once and then permanently retain. It is shaped through everyday choices, relationships, environments and habits.

This Workshop is a structured, evidence-informed development journey designed to help participants understand the foundations of well-being and translate that understanding into practical, sustainable action.

Grounded in positive psychology and the PERMAH framework, the programme explores six interconnected dimensions of well-being:

• Positive Emotions
• Engagement
• Relationships
• Meaning
• Accomplishment
• Health

Participants are also encouraged to consider well-being as an ecosystem. Individual habits matter, but so do team relationships, workplace practices and the wider communities in which people live and work.

Across seven facilitated modules, participants reflect on their current reality, engage with practical well-being tools and develop personalised Rooted Routines that can be integrated into everyday life.

The workshop culminates in a Wellbeing Ripple—a small but meaningful action through which each participant extends the learning into their workplace, team or community.

Workshop Objective

The objective is to equip participants with practical knowledge, reflective tools and sustainable habits that support greater personal and workplace well-being.

Participants will be supported to:

• develop a clear and realistic understanding of well-being

• build healthier and more meaningful connections
• explore purpose, values and meaning within work and life
• set goals that are both meaningful and sustainable
• balance achievement with recovery and self-compassion
• create practical Rooted Routines for everyday application
• take greater ownership of their personal well-being, and
• contribute to a positive Wellbeing Ripple within their workplace or community.

Workshop Outline

Module 1: Wellbeing 101

Understanding what well-being really means

The programme begins by establishing a shared understanding of well-being.

Participants explore:

• different definitions and perceptions of well-being
• the distinction between feeling good and functioning well
• why well-being is multidimensional
• the PERMAH framework
• the interaction between personal and workplace well-being
• the Well-being Ecosystem, and
• the role of small habits in creating sustainable change.

The PERMAH Framework

Participants are introduced to:

• Positive Emotions – experiencing and cultivating emotions that broaden perspective and support resilience;
• Engagement – using strengths and becoming absorbed in meaningful activity;
• Relationships – developing supportive, trusting and high-quality connections;
• Meaning – connecting daily life and work with values and purpose;
• Accomplishment – pursuing meaningful goals and recognising progress; and
• Health – supporting physical, emotional and psychological functioning.

The Well-being Ecosystem

Participants explore well-being across three interconnected levels:

• Individual
• Group
• Community or Organisation
• Culture, systems, leadership behaviour and the wider environment.

The module establishes that people carry personal responsibility for well-being, but they do not carry that responsibility in isolation.

Who Should Participate?

This workshop is suitable for:

• professionals working in demanding environments
• accounting and auditing teams
• leaders and managers
• emerging leaders
• intact workplace teams
• well-being champions
• human resources and people-development professionals
• employees navigating change or sustained pressure
• organisations seeking a shared language for well-being, and

From Personal Practice to a Wider Wellbeing Ripple

Well-being grows through repeated, intentional practice.

A single habit may strengthen one person. One person’s behaviour may positively influence a team. A healthier team may contribute to a more supportive workplace culture.

This workshop helps participants begin where they are, root well-being in practical routines and extend that learning through meaningful action.

Learn the foundations. Root the habits. Strengthen the connections. Create the ripple.
