🌍 World Mental Health Day: A Human Approach to Wellbeing and Organisational Success 🌍 Today is more than a reminder – it’s a call to action. If you're feeling down, stressed, or overwhelmed, know that it's okay to speak out. Asking for help is a true sign of strength, and it’s how real change starts. At Bailey & French we know that prioritising mental health isn't just about checking a box. It's about creating an environment where people feel human. When #wellbeing is embedded into the fabric of an organisation, it’s transformative. We see it through our work in our Human Series – helping leaders build teams that thrive, not by pushing harder but by creating space for people to be themselves, feel valued, and have meaningful conversations. This isn’t just good for people – it’s the key to business growth. Mental health fuels better decision-making, deeper collaboration, and greater innovation. And as organisations, we have the responsibility to make this a lasting priority.

Together, we can humanise work and drive success in ways that truly matter. 🧡 #WorldMentalHealthDay #WellbeingFirst #HumanWorkplace #MentalHealthMatters

🌟 Introverts, It’s Your Time to Lead! 🌟 For a long time, leadership’s been a loud, high-energy race where the boldest voices win. But guess what? Quiet leadership is the ultimate power move. 💥 At Bailey & French we’re flipping the script with our Human Series – because bringing the human back to work means embracing all kinds of leaders, especially those who lead with calm, focus, and killer insight. 🧠 Here’s why introverts are secretly running the show: 🔍 The Quiet Problem Solver – While the go-getters are chasing shiny objects, you're diving deep, solving the real problems, and creating clarity in chaos. Talk about a superpower! 🦸♀️ 👂 The Silent Listener – You don’t just hear your team – you really listen. And when you speak, people pay attention because they know you’re bringing the good stuff. 💬 🚀 Calm in the Storm – When others rush, you strategise. Your thoughtful, deliberate approach doesn’t just keep things on track – it makes the whole team perform better. 📈 🤝 Communication Ninja – Forget fluff. You value real, honest conversations, building a culture of trust where people feel heard and valued. Transparent leaders? Now that is leadership. 👊 Ready to level up your introverted leadership? Check out "Quiet" by Susan Cain or "Quiet Leadership" by David Rock. These books will arm you with even more ways to own your introverted superpowers. 📖⚡ Join the community with our 'Human Series' events, as we continue to redefine leadership and show the world how introverts quietly lead the way 👇 https://hubs.ly/Q02S78Pl0 #SilentButPowerful #IntrovertedLeadership #HumanSeries #HumanLeadership

🌞 Thriving Humans: Cultivating Mental Health and Workplace Wellbeing🌞 As leaders, it's crucial to recognise the widespread impact of mental health challenges on our people. A McKinsey & Company survey across 15 countries found that around 60% of employees have experienced at least one mental health challenge, a statistic consistent with other global research. Addressing mental health head-on is essential. Investing in employee wellbeing not only benefits our people but also boosts productivity, reduces absenteeism, and enhances job satisfaction. In fact, mental health conditions like depression and anxiety cost the global economy an estimated $1 trillion annually in lost productivity (Mental Health UK). Creating a supportive workplace culture that promotes physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing is key. Together, we can drive positive and productive environments where everyone thrives. Let's champion mental health and wellbeing in the workplace! 🧡 Just as we prioritise connection and respect, we must also prioritise mental health as a cornerstone of what it means to be human at work. True leadership is about understanding and addressing the full spectrum of our team's needs, from their professional growth to their emotional resilience. When we nurture mental health and wellbeing, we honour the humanity in each and every person, creating a workplace that supports not just productivity, but holistic success. 🌈 Get closer to what matters – make your business more human with the Bailey & French 'Human Series': https://hubs.ly/Q02RYWqX0 #WorkplaceWellbeing #MentalHealthMatters #HumanisingChange

❓How is your organisation dealing with safety in the workplace?❓ We should all be able to go to work and feel both physically and mentally safe, right? But, many employers are unaware that workplace safety encompasses both employees' physical AND emotional wellbeing. 💪🧠 A survey by Traliant of over 1,000 Americans found 86% of respondents either strongly or somewhat agreed that employers need to do more to address mental health needs in the workplace. The main reasons for poor mental health were: ☢️ Toxic management practices – 24% 😟 Burnout – 19% 💸 And wage stagnation – 16% When our wellbeing suffers, we struggle to bring our best and most authentic selves to work, heaping more stress and anxiety on our shoulders. So what should organisations be doing to combat this? 🤔 Traliant’s Michael Johnson believes employers should be implementing psychological safety training so that employees understand what a safe workplace looks like and what steps to take should they experience a poor mental health situation, either within themselves or a colleague. ✔️ People should have access to mental health support resources, such as counselling and mental health assessment tools and apps. If organisations getting these strategies in place now, it’ll not only help their current teams better manage stress and day-to-day activities, but also attract new talent and be seen as an organisation that prioritises mental health. Now that’s a win win! 🏆🏆 At Bailey & French we've created a Wellbeing and Resilience Toolkit for managers to use with their teams. Packed full of useful articles, tools, videos, courses, and tips, it really is the one-stop-shop for wellbeing advice.
