Treasury Wellbeing Report virtual seminar series

Kia ora koutou katoa,

At Te Tai Ōhanga – The Treasury, we are developing the first Wellbeing Report - Te Tai Waiora that will be published in November 2022.

Join us for our next Wellbeing Report seminar

The What Works Centre for Wellbeing is a collaborating Centre working out what organisations in all sectors - public, private, and civil society - can do to improve wellbeing. In this talk, Nancy will cover a range of examples of how wellbeing approaches, indicators and policies are being used.

Examples will come from:

• across the policymaking process from policy objective setting, appraisal, and evaluation

• local area place centred wellbeing strategies and workplace wellbeing action plans

• sector and organisational approaches, across a wide range of policy areas -education, labour market, environment, health, culture, public mental health, social capital and digital, and

• a wide range of disciplines from economics, statistics, research, MEL, policy, public & occupational health, planning, commissioning & funding, delivery, and service design.
