Supporting workplace wellbeing: understanding the impact and solutions

The number of individuals struggling at work due to declining mental health is rising, with anxiety, stress, and depression becoming major concerns. This not only affects personal wellbeing but also has significant implications for workplace productivity and overall business success.

Poor mental health costs British businesses an estimated £28.3 billion annually, with 460,000 people transitioning from work to sickness and disability benefits each year, costing employers an additional £9 billion. These figures highlight the urgent need for businesses to prioritise mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.

However, fostering a true culture of wellbeing goes beyond token gestures. It requires active listening, a genuine desire to understand employees' needs, and meaningful support systems. This includes recognising our own mental health needs and ensuring that workplaces create an environment where employees feel valued and supported.

To address these critical issues, our FREE lunchtime session will provide valuable insights into workplace wellbeing, covering:

• The key components of wellbeing and their interconnected significance.
• Neurological evidence on declining wellbeing and its impact on individuals and organisations.
• Strategies to prevent mental health deterioration and improve overall wellness.
• Practical examples of fostering a healthier workplace culture.
• Why wellbeing is essential for both personal and professional success.

By understanding the importance of mental health and implementing proactive strategies, businesses can create a supportive environment that benefits employees and enhances overall organisational growth. Join us for this insightful session and take the first step toward a healthier, more resilient workplace.

This is the first session in our latest Lunch & Learn series, ‘Managing The Modern Workplace: Enhancing Your Team's Wellbeing By...’.
