Workplace wellbeing matters!

Sarah Loates

Over recent years, employers have become increasingly aware of the of the mental health impact that Covid and the subsequent economic downturn has had on their employees, particularly with respect to managing absence and productivity.

Likewise, employees themselves have also become much more conscious of their own health and wellbeing, leading them to place a far greater value on work-life balance than previously.

And since the lockdowns gave them the opportunity to experience flexible working patterns that companies might not have otherwise offered, there has been a considerable shift in employee expectations as to what their working arrangements should look like going forward.

Consequently, employers now need to consider workplace wellbeing not just in terms of getting the best from their employees, but also in terms of attraction and retention.

But all too often, workplace wellbeing is only dealt with as a disjointed knee-jerk reaction, resulting in a hastily thought out and poorly considered one-off response, such as “let’s send everyone on a course”, or “let’s introduce hybrid working”. Or even worse, simply as a box-ticking exercise or PR opportunity.

We’re not your average workplace wellbeing provider

In contrast, we can help you develop an effective, coherent workplace wellbeing strategy, where wellbeing becomes an integral part of your company culture and is fully aligned with your organisational values.

Within our friendly and down-to-earth team we have…

  • Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) instructors accredited by Mental Health First Aid England, allowing us to equip your staff with the skills necessary to support both their own mental health and that of their colleagues
  • Both theoretical awareness and practical experience of neurodiversity and mental health issues
  • In-depth practical knowledge of how mental health practitioners utilise CBT, mindfulness, and meditation
  • Psychology qualifications ranging all the way up to PhDs, giving us a comprehensive understanding of the academic and research background
  • Highly qualified and experienced management and people skills trainers, allowing us to identify and address the people-related factors underlying poor workplace wellbeing
  • Highly qualified and experienced HR and employment law experts, allowing us to identify and address organisational factors underlying poor workplace wellbeing, in addition to managing its consequences within the workplace

Since our multi-disciplinary team provides us with a unique combination of skills and experience, we’re able to adopt a ‘big-picture’ viewpoint that properly considers all the inter-relating factors affecting workplace wellbeing. And this then allows us to implement a much more joined-up and effective workplace wellbeing strategy than would be typical of many other providers.

But don’t just take our word for it…

I would highly recommend this course
“I recently attended a Lunch and Learn training course, called ‘How to have Mental Health Conversations’ led by Clare. The content was extremely useful and the trainer excellent. Clare’s friendly and approachable with a relaxed teaching style making the training feel effortless. The content was good and Clare was very skilled in tailoring it to real life scenarios that fit my business. I would highly recommend this course.”
