Employee Health and Wellbeing Improving Mental Wellbeing – 21st June 2021
Solutions for your workers to improve mental wellbeing aren’t difficult to achieve. Over the next few months I’ll be sharing some hints and tips such as:
- Encourage disclosure of mental health – Normalise it
- Train managers/leaders in ‘new ways of working’
- Ensure the work is satisfying and doesn’t put undue pressure on the person
- Build employee resilience
- Introduce a programme for stress management
- Launch programmes that promote good mental health
- Train managers to spot stress, anxiety or depression and other mental health issues
- Put in place resources for supporting employees with mental health issues e.g., referral to occupational health or first aid for mental health
- Reassure those on furlough leave that this does not mean the end of their job – This is a key worry for employees at the moment. Many think it is a precursor to being made redundant
