Dare to Care:
Creating Career Success and Organisational Impact as “Certified Corporate Health & Wellbeing Manager”

The future of work is here. Current and future leaders must embrace new models and approaches to attract, develop, engage and retain their workforce. Corporate health management (CHM) has become a key factor in successfully competing in the “war for talent”. Not only does CHM effectively support the health, wellbeing and motivation of workers and employees, as a result, companies with effective CHM programs are more attractive employers, have lower employee turnover, higher employee engagement and deliver superior economic performance, that is higher profitability and  shareholder value creation.
