Course outline

1. Wellbeing as a Workplace Skill

   8 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Wellbeing at work means feeling able to meet the demands of your role while keeping your health, relationships and energy in reasonable balance. It is a skill that can be built, and it benefits both individuals and teams.
2. Recognising Overload

   8 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Overload often builds slowly. Early signs can include more mistakes, irritability, trouble switching off and a dread of ordinary tasks. Noticing them early gives you more options to respond.
3. Energy and Daily Habits

   8 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Energy comes from how you sleep, move, eat and recover, as well as how you work. Simple daily habits can steady your energy and improve focus over time.
4. Breaks and Boundaries

   8 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Boundaries protect your time and energy. Clear working hours, breaks and ways of communicating help you stay productive without constant interruption or late-night pressure.
5. Seeking Support

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Seeking support is a sign of good judgement, not weakness. Your workplace may offer an EAP, a manager conversation, flexible arrangements or access to health services. Knowing what is available makes it easier to reach out.
6. Careers & next steps

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Wellbeing skills are valued in human resources, safety, people and community roles, and in any role where people manage their own energy and balance. This lesson maps the roles this course can lead to and how to check what they are worth.
