Workplace Wellbeing in Action: A Qualitative Exploration of a Champion-Led Approach in Healthcare
This study demonstrates that champion-led workplace wellbeing initiatives are a feasible approach to enhancing staff wellbeing in healthcare settings. While the strengths-based peer support approach was successful, long-term sustainability requires ongoing leadership commitment and structural integration into organisational practices. Future research should investigate the long-term sustainability and impact of staff-led wellbeing initiatives on absenteeism, presenteeism, and organisational change to inform policy and practice.
