Build a genuine culture of wellbeing in your organisation
Workplace wellbeing isn’t just about occasional initiatives or quick fixes. It requires a strategic, systematic approach that’s embedded in your organisational culture. TOPPER provides the tools and resources you need to assess your current situation, identify priorities and create sustainable improvements.
Developed on the basis of Neil’s experience as a workplace wellbeing consultant, TOPPER gives you a comprehensive set of online resources to help you cultivate and maintain a culture where people can thrive.
What’s included?
Culture Audit Tool: Gain a clear understanding of your organisation’s cultural strengths and areas for development. This systematic audit helps you identify the cultural factors that support – or undermine – wellbeing, enabling you to make strategic improvements to your workplace environment.
Wellbeing Survey: Assess the current state of employee wellness across your organisation. This brief survey provides valuable data about wellbeing levels, helping you identify where attention is needed and measure the impact of your initiatives over time.
Strengths and Development Tool: Take a structured approach to identifying individual and team strengths, as well as areas that would benefit from development. Use these insights to create targeted development plans that unlock potential and drive better results.
New Employee Perspective Tool: Capture fresh insights from new employees during their first few months. Their experiences and observations can reveal important information about your onboarding process, organisational culture, and opportunities for improvement that longer-serving staff may no longer notice.
Why invest in wellbeing?
Organisations with genuine wellbeing cultures benefit from:
Research consistently shows that employee wellbeing and organisational performance are closely connected. When people feel well and supported, they contribute more effectively to organisational goals.
Who is TOPPER for?
TOPPER is designed for senior leaders, HR professionals and anyone responsible for shaping organisational culture and employee wellbeing strategy. It’s particularly valuable if you want to move beyond ad-hoc wellbeing initiatives to create a more systematic, evidence-based approach.

Strengthen your wellbeing strategy with trained champions
A wellbeing champions programme can be one of the most effective ways to embed wellbeing throughout your organisation. When properly recruited, prepared, and supported, wellbeing champions act as advocates and resources for their colleagues, helping to create a culture where wellbeing is everyone’s responsibility.
This comprehensive resource pack, developed by Dr Neil Thompson, provides everything you need to establish and run an effective wellbeing champions scheme in your organisation.
What’s included?
Recruitment and Support Guide: A detailed written guide for managers covering how to identify, recruit, and support wellbeing champions. Learn about role specifications, selection criteria, and ongoing support structures that help champions succeed.
Champion’s Introductory Guide: A practical resource for the champions themselves, explaining their role, responsibilities, and how they can effectively support colleagues’ wellbeing. This guide helps champions understand what’s expected of them and gives them the confidence to get started.
Wellbeing Awareness Days Toolkit: A step-by-step guide to planning and running engaging wellbeing awareness events, complete with specially prepared video materials to enhance the learning experience. Use these resources to create impactful events that raise awareness and generate momentum for your wellbeing initiatives.
Why a champions approach works
Wellbeing champions bring several advantages:
A peer-based champions model is particularly effective because people often find it easier to discuss concerns with colleagues than with managers or HR staff.
Creating sustainable impact
These resources are designed to help you create a champions programme that’s sustainable and effective over the long term. By investing in proper recruitment, preparation, and support, you’ll build a network of advocates who can genuinely contribute to a thriving workplace culture.
Who are these resources for?
This resource pack is ideal for HR professionals, wellbeing leads, and senior managers who want to implement or strengthen a wellbeing champions scheme. The materials are suitable for organisations of any size and can be adapted to fit your specific context.
