Championing Wellbeing in Every Workplace

Professional development plan

Developing a Culture of Care in the Workplace

A Workplace Champion is an educated, empathetic co-worker who assists in building a more caring and inclusive workplace. Champions are accessible colleagues who increase awareness, provide peer support, and direct to useful resources in areas that are usually sensitive, individual, and profoundly influential. 

Through sparking open discussions and offering educated advice, Workplace Champions are key to supporting organisations in creating safer, more empathetic cultures in which all members of staff feel heard and cared for. 

Want to explore how Workplace Champions could support your team?

Workplace Champions are not counsellors or HR representatives, they are trusted peers with specialist training who:

  1. Support colleagues through key life challenges  
  2. Raise awareness of specific wellbeing topic
  3. Advocate for inclusive policies and practices
  4. Create safe spaces for open, respectful conversations
  5. Promote a culture of empathy and understanding  

At The Learning Well, we provide Workplace Champion training across a range of specialist topics, including:  

  1. Menopause and Perimenopause  
  2. Fertility and Baby Loss  
  3. Birth Trauma  
  4. Mental Health First Response  
  5. Gender-Based Violence and Domestic Abuse Awareness 

Our training equips champions with practical tools, language, and confidence to support others and drive meaningful change in the workplace.  

A Workplace Champion doesn’t have to have a certain job title or belong to a certain department, most important is a willingness to help others. Champions might be line managers, team leaders, wellbeing officers, HR professionals, or simply someone who cares about making work a kinder, more inclusive place. 

We ask organisations to construct a diverse pool of champions, that they draw upon individuals from throughout various roles, backgrounds, and lived experiences. Diversity ensures that colleagues are represented and supported regardless of their situation. Anyone can become a trusted, listening voice in the workplace with the proper training. 

Training Workplace Champions not only empowers individuals but brings lasting value to your organisation. Benefits include:  

  1. Greater employee engagement and trust
  2. Improved retention and morale
  3. A more inclusive, empathetic workplace culture
  4. Practical support for wellbeing and mental health strategies  

We have flexible training options that fit your team’s requirements, such as virtual or face-to-face sessions. Every training is CPD-accredited and comes with resource packs and ongoing support.
