The Lighthouse Charity has unveiled a series of new courses to mark the first anniversary of its Wellbeing Academy.
As well as an array of emotional and physical wellbeing topics, new modules to support the financial challenges experienced by many of the industry’s workforce have also been added and include the topics of borrowing, controlling credit and tackling debt.
Also, new wellbeing exclusive courses for 2024 include Menopause Awareness and Menopause for Management which identify how to support someone experiencing menopause from a workplace perspective either as an employee or as an employer.
The training has also been augmented dependant on individual needs, offering three distinct levels of ‘bronze, silver and gold’ learning.
Bronze introduces each subject, the key topic areas and an understanding of the language used at the next level. Silver presents scenarios where learners need to demonstrate their understanding through application of the skills learned so far and gold uses case studies to illustrate real life situations and challenges.
The academy also offers free ‘Lighthouse Wellbeing Exclusives’ aimed at empowering individuals, teams and leaders with new knowledge and skills across several topics of emotional and physical wellbeing.
Chief operating officer Sarah Bolton said said, “The training on offer supports every person in our industry, so whether you’re a self-employed tradesperson, site operative, project manager or office-based professional there is something for everyone. To support a positive wellbeing culture in our industry, it’s critical that we proactively develop our workforce and equip them with the tools and soft skills to negotiate the challenges of everyday life and working in what can be a very stressful environment.”
