I recently completed the HP1108 Promoting Health in the Workplace micro-credential, and it has been a fantastic stepping stone for my professional development. This micro-credential has provided me with valuable insights and practical strategies to improve health and well-being in the workplace. It was the first time this course was run and the delivery was well-structured and accessible, with a flexible blended format that made it easy to balance my studies with work commitments. The content was engaging and relevant, covering essential topics such as psychosocial working environments, organisational culture and change along with case studies. I would highly recommend this micro-credential to upgrade your skills in a manageable and supportive learning environment.
