Mental Health in Work Place

Mental Health First Aiders.

Important now. Essential for the future.

Mental health is absolutely essential for business, now more than ever, given today’s fast paced and turbulent business environment.

Employee mental wellbeing is often not talked about, or hidden, due to stigma or fear of discrimination. Research has shown that this collective culture of fear and silence is terribly costly for employers. 

Equipping your organisation with Mental Health First Aiders is the first phase to being proactive toward your teams’ happiness at work, and a vital step in creating an open and positive mental health culture within your workforce. Plus, with PeopleUnboxed, you get some additional soft skills training included to truly give your employees the skills they need to talk openly about mental health.

We offer organisational courses and open courses so whether you want to get a group of people qualified, or just a few we can cater to your needs. Plus, both can be delivered virtually, which means we can help you develop Mental Health First Aiders for your hybrid and remote teams. 

It starts with a conversation.

And results in cultural change.

The HSE statistics for 2021/2022, published in November 2022, warn of a growing crisis in work-related stress and poor mental health in the workplace. The HSE are ‘reminding employers of their responsibilities to their employee’s mental health, after research highlighted that many employers were unaware of their legal duties and how to spot the signs of stress’. Proactively focussing on mental health will lead to a positive shift in organisational culture, a positive impact on employees and a positive impact on the economy.

A positive culture of wellbeing.

Raise awareness and develop life-long skills.

We’ve all heard the safety briefings on an aircraft where they tell you to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others. Wellbeing and mental health is no different; we have to look after ourselves to be able to look after others. 

Equipping your people with the right tools and knowledge to be resilient, understand their emotions and look after their own mental health, is the first step to a healthy and happy workforce. 

Workplace Mental Health Support

Resilience Brilliance.

Helping your people to handle stress.

Resilience and psychological safety are critical within the modern-day workplace. We can help your teams to maintain balance in their lives during stressful and testing periods and to create environments of psychological safety which help them to feel safe to take risks and be vulnerable in front of one another. 

Take a look at our ‘Resilience Brilliance’ course which tackles the concept of resilience and its impact on the workplace; explores the concept of effort versus time and discusses how to create a culture of psychological safety and get the best from employees.

Workplace Wellbeing.

Helping you to manage team wellness.

Wellbeing impacts overall team performance and commitment, either positively or negatively. Your modern leaders need to understand what it takes to foster a positive workplace that encourages team wellbeing and a healthy work-life balance. What’s more, your employees need to feel empowered to proactively manage their own wellbeing, so it becomes a way of life.

Take a look at our ‘Workplace Wellbeing’ course which takes delegates through the key wellbeing factors, offering ideas and solutions to create a lasting positive, healthy working environment.

Remote control

Remote Control.

Effectively managing remote teams.

For most of us now, remote, home or hybrid working is not new. But managing remote teams might be. And really how effective are our remote teams? Often the key challenges lie around effective communication and trust; being able to relinquish that control to allow our people to work in a way that suits them and still delivers the goods.

Take a look at our ‘Remote Control’ course where we support leaders to effectively communicate, build trust, maximise performance, and create an environment that motivates remote teams.

Mental Health in Work Place

Psychological Safety.

Empowering emotionally authentic teams.

We are all different. When we embrace our individuality we win together. Whether it’s our working styles, communication preferences, personality profiles, values, purpose, passions, home life responsibilities, hobbies or interests, our differences are our strengths! With the increased emphasis on inclusive cultures, it is now more important than ever to be able create teams where individuals are understood, accepted and respected.

Take a look at our ‘Psychological Safety’ course where we will support you to build teams that feel safe to be their authentic selves, express their ideas and opinions openly, take risks and learn from their mistakes. Propel your team’s performance and happiness!

More than mental health.

Holistic wellbeing.

Stop to think about the person you were ten years ago, or even just five years ago…we’re certain that person is different to who you are today. 

As humans, we are on a continuous learning journey, called life. Our experiences from childhood to day-to-day life now evolves who we are and what we believe in. Our values, passions, personalities, and confidence are all different. Wellbeing isn’t just about positive mental health, it’s about being truly happy in ourselves and genuinely thriving in life.

We can upskill your people in a whole host of other areas to support wellness and a journey of self-understanding and confidence. Developing emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence, personality profiling, working smart not hard, personal brand, presentation skills, or handling conflict confidently, to name just a few of our most popular courses, all play a part in a more holistic view of our individual wellbeing.
