Looking after employee mental and physical health at work has never been more important, particularly after what your staff have been through over the past few years.

Your colleagues are dealing with changes in their working lives and changes at home. Some are getting used to juggling the mix of working from home and in the office. Checking in on advisors each day is a great start, but may not be enough. This course will help you understand when people might be struggling and give you a greater understanding of mental health.

Course Description

This 3.5 hour virtual training workshop explores various aspects of mental health and how you as a People Manager can support your teams if they are struggling with certain aspects of their mental health and well-being.

We will work as a group through a number of discussion exercises to gain insight into mental health issues and how to deliver support. Attendees are encouraged to share personal and professional stories with the group (while ensuring the anonymity of anyone involved of course) as learning from real-life examples is often the most powerful way.

Benefits to your business

Employers have, by law, certain duties of care to their employees. But beyond that, caring for your employees’ and colleagues’ health is just the right thing to do.

From a commercial point of view, unhappy staff are not going to perform at their best and deliver the results the organisation needs, so we have all the incentive in the world to provide the best support we can.
