Nestle 2223/24 Programme proposal

Introduction to our 2023/24 Programme Design

Wellbeing is your apprentices and Graduates ability to feel good and function effectively (in positive psychology terms “Thriving”) as they navigate the highs and lows of life at Nestle and their wider lives (in positive psychology terms “Struggles”).

Positive psychology research studies and shown that people who are “constantly thriving” and those who are “living well despite struggles” are more likely to report higher levels of individual team workplace performance, Engagement and satisfaction. Often those “living well despite struggles” show the most resilience.

The PERMAH wellbeing model looks at the key elements that support “thriving” or living well despite struggles” and outlines the key ingredients that will help apprentices and graduates succeed. Some of these elements outlined in the next slide are organisational factors (training, purposeful work etc) but many are behaviours that can be taught or fostered. Our proposed programme looks at how we can foster these behaviours and also measure how engaged the cohorts are using the Permah Wellbeing survey. This survey will allow Nestle to measure the overall wellbeing (and engagement) of the cohort but also provide each apprentice and graduate with an individual report helping them to identify how they can thrive.

This proposal builds on content we have preciously delivered and adds in new content and delivery approaches to create an engaging and fun programme that aims to support everyone in Nestle early careers to thrive or live well.
