Trailblazer

Designed to help organisations create more inclusive, supportive and high-performing workplace cultures whilst reducing sickness absence. Delivered through four interactive workshops, the programme equips leaders and people managers with practical skills to support employee wellbeing, improve communication, understand mental health and neurodiversity, and embed inclusion into everyday practice.

Delivered in partnership with York Against Cancer and The Bereavement Alliance, this practical session will help you understand grief, loss and emotional responses. You'll gain confidence in having supportive conversations, not only with the individual affected but also with the wider team, including colleagues who may be experiencing an emotional impact or taking on additional responsibilities.

Delivered through four interactive workshops, the programme equips leaders and people managers with practical skills to support employee wellbeing, improve communication, understand mental health and neurodiversity, and embed inclusion into everyday practice.

Drawing on professional expertise and lived experience, the session focuses on understanding common challenges, recognising when support may be needed, and exploring practical ways to improve wellbeing at work and outside of that.

A session for women, delivered by women. Women often juggle multiple responsibilities both inside and outside of work, which can have a significant impact on wellbeing, confidence and performance. Delivered by Elaine Morris - Leadership Coach, Lizzie Huxford - Specialist Occupational Therapist and Clinical Director of OT4Me, and Tracey Dennison – Director of East Riding Aesthetics and Menopause nurse of the year, this interactive session explores key women's health challenges, including hormonal health, wellbeing, burnout, perimenopause and menopause.

Whether you're discussing performance, wellbeing, bereavement, workplace conflict or change, difficult conversations are an unavoidable part of working life. Yet many managers and colleagues avoid these conversations because they worry about saying the wrong thing or making the situation worse.

Thrive at Work – Inclusive Futures is a fully funded Employer Support Programme* designed to help organisations create more inclusive, supportive and high-performing workplace cultures whilst reducing sickness absence.
