Employee wellbeing
Putting the person into personnel
Your employees’ mental and emotional wellbeing is of vital importance. People can find themselves struggling for many reasons – relationship breakdowns, bereavement, anxiety, domestic violence, family and financial difficulties, and the new reality of COVID-19 are just a few examples. Their wellbeing may affect their performance and ability to do their job. Both as an employer and a fellow human, it is your responsibility to be aware of any potential or ongoing issues and ensure your workplace provides the support that your employees need, whenever they need it.
Morgan Thomson can help you create a culture that breaks down the stigma of mental health so that no employee feels afraid to talk to their manager or colleagues if they are struggling. We can provide advice and training on:
- Putting in place effective policies to keep your employees safe
- Raising awareness of mental health in the workplace
- Practical techniques for spotting the signs of poor mental health and giving someone a safe space to talk
- Effective coping mechanisms
- Signposting employees to sources of help
- Improving listening and communication skills.
We should all be mindful of how important mental health is in the world we live in and the part it plays in business. We all have our own unique history and experiences in life. This means we all react differently to challenging situations. One person might pick themselves up quickly after a setback, whereas another person might be affected by it for very a long time.
Many people still feel uncomfortable opening up to mental or emotional problems they are experiencing. This can cause the problems to fester and grow and may cause them to overreact or act out of character – even towards low-level situations or minor triggers. People can spend almost as much time at work as they spend with their families and that’s why we want to help you feel supported and comfortable in your workplace.
