IOSH MANAGING OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & WELLBEING
Introduction
Managing Occupational Health and Wellbeing is for managers and supervisors working in any sector, and for any organisation.
It’s designed to provide them with the tools and techniques to improve health and wellbeing across their organisation. They won’t suddenly become health and wellbeing experts – but it will help them to become line managers who truly care about the health and wellbeing of an organisation’s most important asset – its people.
Certification of this qualification does not expire.
