The NEBOSH Working with Wellbeing qualification is an introductory one-day course designed to help learners understand workplace wellbeing and how it can be improved.
It is particularly relevant to HR professionals, health and safety practitioners, managers and anyone with responsibility for people. The course provides practical approaches to understanding wellbeing, implementing initiatives and measuring their effectiveness.

The qualification is assessed through a practical workplace assessment. Learners review the strengths and weaknesses of wellbeing within their workplace and produce a wellbeing intervention plan, explaining how they intend to improve wellbeing and measure the effectiveness of their intervention.
The assessment takes approximately one hour.

Successful completion can provide a foundation for further professional development, including other NEBOSH Award-level qualifications, the NEBOSH Health and Safety at Work Award, or progression towards the NEBOSH National General Certificate.
