Healthy Leadership

Why this program?

Relevant for every management and every company

The program empowers in particular management, executives, and human resources managers to act as role models and activate important resources through proactive leadership in order to reduce the possible consequences of mental stress in the workplace.

These include, for example, lack of commitment and difficult communication up to and including absences due to illness, high fluctuation, lower productivity, declining profits as well as high follow-up costs.

The proactive and preventive approach to promoting mental health in the workplace thus helps companies not only to save costs, but also to create an attractive working environment for employees, to retain employees and to position themselves as an attractive employer in the context of employer branding.

Combination of evidence-based research and practical input

Participants benefit from an interdisciplinary team of leadership researchers, psychotherapists and medical professionals who provide a holistic overview of the topic with evidence-based and field-tested support. Participants learn, for example, how to establish healthy work structures in one's own organization or team, reduce prejudice and discrimination against people with mental illness, and prevent avoidable absences.

Immediate application of knowledge

In realistic role plays with actors and group work, participants train their (self-)leadership skills and reflect on their (leadership) behavior with the help of their personal video feedback and an action plan on healthy leadership based on their individual leadership profile.

Participants can flexibly deepen their knowledge according to their needs through accompanying online learning elements as well as through the included use of the Nilo Health App and Nilo Health Coaching.

Valuable professional network

Expand your network and reflect on your experiences around the topic of leadership and mental health with colleagues from different industries as well as professionals from the academia, practitioners and (former) sufferers.
