Leadership Masterclass: How Leaders can Contribute to the Health, Wellbeing and Productivity of Employees

The speaker for the first Masterclass in this Academic Year will be Professor Dame Carol Black DBE, FRCP, FMedSci.

Dame Carol’s talk will address why health and wellbeing should become a core priority for leaders and managers, why leaders should value the strategic importance and benefits of healthy workplaces and how they can encourage a consistent sustainable positive approach to health and wellbeing for all.

The target audience for the Masterclass series is those who are undertaking (or have previously undertaken) a leadership or management development programme within the University – the sessions aim to complement our learning about leadership. The speakers are people with senior leadership experience outside the University.

The purpose of the Masterclasses is for leaders and managers in the University to learn about different aspects of leadership from the varying experiences of our speakers and to hear how different people see their role as a leader in a variety of different and often challenging situations.
