Championing Workplace Wellbeing Together

Partner Spotlight: Tonic Wellbeing

Bringing Practical Expertise to Strategic Wellbeing Education

 

At Illuminare Executive Education, we don’t believe in surface-level wellbeing. For us, and for the clients we support, wellbeing must be measurable, meaningful and embedded in the way people live and work. That’s why we partner with specialists who complement our strengths and enhance the overall value we deliver. One such partner is Tonic Wellbeing, a leading consultancy with over two decades of experience in practical, data-informed wellbeing support across organisations.

Tonic Wellbeing brings deep expertise in workplace mental health, peer support structures, lifestyle wellbeing and digital wellbeing technology. Their delivery is clear, compassionate and grounded in the real needs of employees at every level. Through a blend of proven methodologies and digital tools, Tonic helps organisations build healthier, more connected workplace cultures.

This partnership is built on complementarity. While Tonic contributes practical insight, lived workplace experience and behavioural tools that activate wellbeing on the ground, Illuminare provides the science, research and executive education rigour, spanning emotional intelligence, financial wellbeing, leadership psychology, resilience frameworks and strategic capability development. Together, we offer clients a robust, joined-up solution that moves beyond token initiatives to deliver meaningful, lasting change.

 

CPD-Accredited Wellness Champion Programme

One of our key co-delivered initiatives is the CPD-accredited Wellness Champion Programme. A powerful two-day induction followed by 12 months of membership-based support. This programme equips in-house Champions to lead wellbeing in practical, peer-led ways, identifying issues, initiating meaningful conversations and influencing small but significant culture shifts across their organisations.

Our joint delivery ensures that Champions are connected to a broad network of expertise and peer support, and are empowered to address wellbeing challenges with insight, empathy and professionalism.

Better still, if your organisation already has a trained Wellness Champion or Mental Health First Aider, you’re eligible to access the full 12-month membership package, supporting up to 16 employees for a single annual fee. We offer this structure to encourage wider access to wellbeing training and to help organisations distribute responsibility and increase internal wellbeing capacity, rather than relying on a single point of contact.

Champions, First Aiders, and their colleagues can benefit from monthly live online training, themed resources, toolkits, campaign templates, peer learning opportunities and optional access to the Tonic Wellbeing App, a standalone digital platform offering mood tracking, mindfulness tools, and self-guided development. Managed exclusively by Tonic, the app adds another layer of individualised, ongoing support.

Programme Fees:

• 2-Day CPD-Accredited Wellness Champion Training: £450 + VAT per delegate
• Annual Organisation Membership: £1,200 + VAT (for up to 16 employees). Includes monthly live training, monthly digital resource content, member spotlight, peer to peer support and regular engagement

 

University Certified Wellbeing, Resilience and Life Nutrition In-House and Online Programme

In parallel, Illuminare Executive Education delivers specialist executive learning through our Wellbeing, Resilience and Life Nutrition programme. An in-depth, university-certified training course designed for individuals and teams ready to explore wellbeing at a deeper and more personalised level. The programme covers lifestyle design, stress management, sustainable energy, and habit change, with modules contributed by both Illuminare and Tonic experts.

This programme stands as a complementary offering to the Wellness Champion pathway and is ideal for professionals seeking both personal and organisational development. It is certified by the University of Derby and available for in-house delivery. An online, on-demand version will also launch in January 2026 to ensure flexible access for busy professionals and remote teams.
