World Wellbeing Week

This week is World Wellbeing Week. It's is a week to celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of wellbeing. Our wellbeing incorporates many aspects, including physical, mental and emotional health, as well as social and economic influences.
Seven reasons to support employee mental wellbeing:
1. Improved employee mental health: Mental health training can help employees identify and manage symptoms of common mental health struggles such as stress, anxiety, and depression. This can lead to improved mental wellbeing at work and reduced absenteeism.
2. Increased productivity: A mentally healthy workforce is more engaged and productive, leading to improved performance and increased efficiency.
3. Better teamwork: Mental health training can promote a supportive work environment and encourage open communication, improving teamwork and collaboration.
4. Reduced stress levels: Mental health training can teach employees coping strategies to manage stress and maintain a healthy work-life balance. This can reduce burnout and improve job satisfaction.
5. Improved retention: Providing mental health support shows employees that their employer values their wellbeing, which can reduce staff turnover.
6. Enhanced reputation: Companies prioritising mental health are considered socially responsible and attractive to potential employees and customers.
7. Cost savings: Providing mental health support can reduce healthcare costs associated with mental health issues and improve overall productivity.
