Mental Wellness in Organisations in Conference Proceedings
The Global Wellness Institute (2020) defines mental wellness as a resource and process. As a resource, it can help us think, feel, connect, and function, and as a process, it helps us build resilience, develop, and flourish as individuals, groups, and organisations. Thus, in the current period of crisis, it is becoming increasingly clear that excellent business strategy, excellent leaders, excellent experts and excellent resources will need to be accompanied by mental wellness to more easily achieve business resilience and business flourishing. The kind of business flourishment that leads to “arbejdsglæde” as they call it in Denmark: not just to job satisfaction, but to “joy of working”.
E-book was the result of the project Coaching Skills for Adult Educators co-funded by EU, European Social Fund, and the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of Republic of Slovenia in the framework of Operational Programme ‘Human Resources Development 2007-2013’, priority axis: Development of Human Resources and Life-Long Learning. It is a manual consisting of practical tools and case studies and examples of coaching conversations, aimed at educators in adult education.
This Toolkit was developed as a joint project involving on one side educational institutions, training and consulting companies and on the other side (automotive) industry representatives from countries across Europe in an effort to satisfy the knowledge transfer needs in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The particular focus was put on the expertise and competencies of the employees older than 50 and their career development. The overall aim of the international project (called CP50+ as an acronym of Career Plan 50+) was knowledge and talent retention (of the 50+ employees) through knowledge transfer within companies as well as career development of the 50+ employees. The Career Plan 50+ Toolkit was developed as part of the EU-funded Leonardo da Vinci programme Career Plan 50+.
