The Catalyst System is a series of wellbeing webinars that offers more than a conventional wellbeing programme, instead laying the blueprint for sustainable change. By uniting your people through live learning, equipping them with practical resources, and giving leaders actionable insights, the Catalyst System offers you and Loughborough a chance to shift wellbeing conversations and actions in a positive direction.
Each Catalyst session is targeted to specific audiences, however every session is available for all staff members to attend for free.
Book your place on any of these sessions by getting in touch with Occupational Health via email occupationalhealth@mailbox.lboro.ac.uk.
