Time: 12:00pm
Duration: 45 minutes
Format: Live webinar with Q&A
Speakers: Dr Lara Shemtob and Jon Nottingham
What you will learn:
During this session, Lara and Jon will explore:
- Why the transition from education into employment can be particularly challenging for today’s young people
- How social media and digital wellbeing can influence confidence, expectations and responses to workplace challenges
- The relationship between identity, personal values and lasting resilience
- Why downstream interventions, such as simply limiting screen time, may not address the underlying causes
- Practical habits that can help young people build confidence and resilience before ill health develops
- Light-touch workplace adjustments that can support younger employees during the transition into work
- How managers can bridge the gap between their expectations of working life and those of younger colleagues
This webinar moves beyond familiar advice about screen time and stress to consider the foundations of lasting resilience.
Drawing on frontline coaching experience and an occupational health perspective, the discussion will help employers understand what young workers may be experiencing and how supportive workplace infrastructure can protect wellbeing before work-related stress takes hold.
The session is particularly relevant to HR professionals, occupational health practitioners, managers, people leaders, learning and development teams, educators and organisations that employ apprentices, graduates or other young workers.
