Testimonials
Sarah Grace, Associate Director for Teaching and Learing, international School of Amsterdam
“I highly recommend this course to anyone working in an organisation which wants to develop and/or improve their wellbeing strategy and learn how employers can support the health and mental health of their employees. The six sessions just flew by! I felt I was only just getting started as the course was drawing to a close.
Amy is very knowledgable and engaging; she draws on her own experience with different organisations to show you what can be achieved if you have an overall strategy and vision of what you are working towards.
You will come away with some concrete steps to take to help your own organisation move forward..”
Agnieszka Martins, Mental Health and Wellbeing Consultant, Vita Et Opus
This is the best training I have joined in a long time.
I am grateful for the opportunity. Thanks to Amy's course I was able to organise and expand on my existing knowledge and skills within the area to more strategically and effectively help my clients in the future.
I highly recommend it to anyone working in the health, mental health and wellbeing space who wants to take their expertise, knowledge, and skills to the next level.
Nora Dietrich,Psychotherapist and Mental Health Expert
Amy did a fantastic job combining her strategic expertise with hands-on tools and real-life examples. The course gave me the confidence to say yes to a big strategic mental health project and provided me with the framework needed to dive right in.
Fiona Macintosh - Organisational Wellbeing & Team Development
I am thrilled to share my testimonial for Amy, who has been instrumental in enhancing my expertise in the field of employee wellbeing. As a specialist in optimising people performance within organisations, I had previously undergone training in mental health and wellbeing. While these courses provided valuable learnings, they lacked the practical dimension required for developing effective organisational wellbeing strategies, so I sought Amy’s expertise. Amy's extensive knowledge and experience, coupled with her practical approach, truly set her apart. Her deep understanding of the underpinning theory surrounding health, mental health and wellbeing was evident throughout the course. She expertly translated complex concepts into practical approaches, making the learning experience highly valuable and applicable. The specific reason why Amy's course stood out was her ability to provide clear, no-nonsense advice for developing a robust wellbeing strategy. Her sensible approach enabled me to grasp the essential elements of creating a comprehensive plan that caters to the unique needs of individuals and organisations. Since completing the course, I have gained the confidence to provide practical guidance to my clients in implementing effective wellbeing strategies. Amy's teachings have equipped me with the necessary tools and resources to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of employee mental health and wellbeing. I wholeheartedly recommend Amy’s course to anyone seeking to expand their knowledge and practical skills in the field of organisational wellbeing. Her expertise, passion, and ability to deliver practical guidance have been invaluable to my professional growth and the success of my clients.

This summer I had the pleasure of attending Amy McKeown's course, Do Workplace Health Right and I am so pleased I did. Right from the get-go, this is a fast-paced and information-rich experience. Set out in a linear strategic narrative, Amy takes you through exactly how to run a successful workplace health strategy from inception to embedding. Amy has a warm and enthusiastic delivery style and welcomes questions and opinions throughout - no subject is off limits, and no commentary or exchange is unwelcome. With insights on how to begin, who to involve, what data you can collect, and a deep dive into health providers, we even had a bonus session exploring the ISO 45003 with guest speaker Peter Kelly. I have been working in workplace wellbeing for over a decade and have worked with hundreds of organisations to support their strategies, I thought I knew a lot and yet I found myself busily scribbling notes and keen to look back at content on the learning platform. If you are in a role where health and wellbeing are in your remit, or if that is the sort of role you would like to do, I recommend this course for you.
Stuart Mace
I was really pleased to take Amy's 'Do Workplace Health Right' course as it is packed full with insights, experience and learnings. Amy shares her twenty years knowledge of the industry with practical and relevant examples of past initiatives and interventions, which can be used as a platform for a corporate wellbeing department. Amy allows for discussions on real life situations from participants with practical advice and learnings. Advice and learnings that are organisationally focused and support dealing with root cause and primary aspects. This course offers a refreshing alternative to the individualised and mostly ineffective offers in today's market and would suit Chief Wellbeing Officers, Wellbeing Managers, Occupational Health Therapists and those serious about making an impact in the wellbeing of their workforce. I learned a lot from Amy and really feel there is a need for such a course. I would and certainly recommend snapping up a place on the course if you can, it's excellent value and the way forward.
Manneko Khasu
What I liked most about the course is that I never realized how important my role as occupational health was key in employee wellbeing, and how underutilized we have been. Amy made me see that from a different perspective through her content and practicality and I believe going forward I’m gonna stand out from most of my peers in the industry in transforming occupational health and wellbeing.

A much needed course which every workplace health and wellbeing advocate should take. There will be something to learn, guaranteed . Amy's knowledge and experience is priceless and is well worth the investment. With some specific and effective examples, Amy teaches a practical aspect which can be used as a foundation to strategies, frameworks and relationships with external suppliers. Throughout the course, the group came together to share their thoughts and experiences and how they could implement learnings into their organisation. There is something for everyone and an ideal opportunity to learn from others with experience in the industry.
Georgie Payne, Director and Coach - Time For The Mind
This is one of the best courses I have ever done; Amy's experience and knowledge of the health, mental health and wellbeing sector is immense and thorough. It takes you through acres of realistic and practical strategy information and tried and tested 'how toos'. The input from all the other (global) professionals in the industry was amazing as well. I can't recommend this course highly enough.
Anonymous (Director of Operations)
Prior to starting this course I had followed Amy for some time on LinkedIn, appreciating her informative and inclusive posts. This course was a tremendous opportunity to learn from a highly experienced individual with a wealth of knowledge in this area. It was refreshing to learn how to approach this topic from a strategic point of view and to learn so many practical, implementable ideas from week one. I have no formal training in this area but the course was inclusive and flexible, with a wide range of businesses being represented. If you're working in the Health, Mental Health and Wellbeing space this course is a must.
Nuzhad Chagan - People and Projects Manager at JSBC Labs
I had the opportunity to join Amy's last cohort to go through the training course around Workplace Wellbeing. I thought it was informative, easy to follow and gave you a great foundation if you are newly appointed to your role for workplace wellbeing and not had any previous experience or similar skill set.
Having been in the role as a Head of Health and Wellbeing Lead at IKEA, I know I felt the journey was a lonely one where everyone assumed you would know all the answers and would walk into knowing all the latest trends or what to focus on. This course enables you to establish a roadmap for yourself as to where your focuses will be as you are establishing wellbeing in your organisation. It will also carve out a path of what research you need to be tracking and what can help better explain your role to the leaders and wider networks in your organisation.
The best way to learn as well is not to do it in isolation so by having a cohort of like minded people you can form those bonds and use the opportunity learn and share between yourselves. It will also give you the chance to benchmark where you are on your learning curve for this role.
Amy as a course instructor has a very open and honest approach. I find that refreshing as driving this agenda in the workplace is no easy task. It can still be seen as fluffy stuff and by learning more of how you can build that business case and be prepared this enhances your chances of better delivery of your wellbeing strategy in your orgnanisation.
I would recommend you look into signing up and like all courses you take what you can from the time and expertise. On a level of expertise and experience, Amy is one of the pioneers in this space so you cannot go wrong there.
Wishing you the best of luck with your learning journey and Amy wishing you all the success and thank you for the learnings I have gained.
Sam Langford - Director
It is vital that anyone working in a workplace health and wellbeing role understands the importance of an effective Health and Wellbeing Strategy. Whether you are responsible for the design and delivery, part of a team that is, or working to implement existing strategy aims, Amy’s course will provide you with all the insight you need. Delivered in an informal and engaging way, every workplace wellbeing professional will benefit from Amy’s extensive experience as well as the networking opportunities afforded through the course. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and gained some valuable insights to develop my own strategy writing process. Thanks Amy; you are a wonder!
Why I created 'Do Workplace Health Right'
I have noticed in my work that many of the people I work with have come from one background, or a ‘passion’ for health, mental health and wellbeing. Many have got there by pivoting from other roles and are 'learning on the job'. There is a big skills gap. Especially with strategic thinking.
I work often with people from HR, ER, Diversity & Inclusion, Health & Safety, Learning & Development and Reward and Benefits…
All are experts in their fields but don't often have training or understanding in all the different multi-dimensional aspects of heath, mental health, and wellbeing strategies required to do it properly.
Many wellbeing strategies and programmes aren’t strategic but are collections of well-intentioned activities that won’t make change as they are outside of core organisational processes.They are often siloed and don’t involve all the many parts of the organisation needed to make change.
There are some fab academic courses out there now but I haven't found a really practical, 'how to' course that will tackle the issues I see on a day to day basis.
I created this course to give a thorough and strategic understanding of all aspects of health, mental health and wellbeing… based on 20 years of my strategic work within many different organisations.
