Talking Mental Health at Work

Helping others to help themselves

 

It’s not about walking on eggshells.

If we are experiencing mental ill health, be it stress, burnout, anxiety, or depression the thing we appreciate the most at work is the offer of compassionate support. It’s not helpful to watch others tip toe around in fear of offending our strung out sensibilities. Or to send us home to “pull ourselves together”. If we could we would. Being able to confidently approach conversations about mental health with others at work is an integral people management skill, and one that can be learned. Your entire workplace will benefit from having leaders upskilled in this important area

Promote Staff Wellbeing. Enhance Customer Care

Dealing with a large customer base can be tough.

 

If only we didn’t have to deal with customers, this business would be great!

Customer complaints are on the rise and you have a large frontline workforce that seem to be getting crankier by the minute. There is a litany of demands from stakeholders to make a difference. What’s the best approach? A sure-fire way to get on top of the frustrations that can come from dealing with the general public or a large client/customer base is to soundly develop staff communication skills while simultaneously promoting practices and knowledge to enhance staff resilience and wellbeing. Frustrations will no longer be a barrier to a great customer experience.

Happy Hour and a Half.

 

Don’t underestimate the power of play.

Play? You’re kidding me aren’t you? No, we most certainly are not. Pure play as a diversion and recreation has been shown to be incredibly beneficial to our wellbeing. Spending an hour focusing on fun-business-at-hand instead of tasks is a truly effective strategy to renew our energy and motivation for work. If you are looking for a way to reinvigorate your team who have been working hard on a current project or who need to reconnect after periods of separation due to lockdowns or remote working, then give this a try. The worst that could happen is that everyone has fun.
