⚡We have a workplace wellbeing problem ⚡ According to the OECD, less than 1/3 of organisations address preventive health in their wellbeing programs despite 68% offering stress & mental health programs and 53% offering EAPs. These programs are of course important, but many act as 'band-aid' solutions, dealing with issues after they arise. Added to this, the EAP utilisation rate is only ~5%. There is a need for us to move from reactive to proactive, preventive approaches to improve outcomes for our people and our organisations 🍏 💚 One of the themes for this year’s Comcare conference is prevention and I’m looking forward to presenting on this topic and exploring how we can make this shift to drive positive change 💪 #WorkplaceHealth #PreventiveHealth #EmployeeWellbeing [OECD link in comments]

🧠 Taking Wellbeing Seriously This #StressAwarenessMonth, we're taking a moment to highlight the importance of mental wellbeing in the workplace. Our commitment to creating a supportive environment is so important, as we understand that the health of our employees is key. We are proud of our Mental Health Champions who are always ready to lend an ear and offer resources or advice to those in need. It's through their dedication that we have fostered a culture where open and honest communication about health and wellbeing is not just encouraged, but normalised. Our people are a key part of our business, we want to shout about them, and we are here to support them in any way we can. #MentalHealthMatters #EmployeeEngagement #EmployeeWellbeing

Institutional support systems are key to creating a positive and productive workplace culture. This includes access to mental health professionals, regular wellness check-ins, and resources like therapy sessions. Small actions, like ensuring staff can take mental health days without stigma, can make a big difference. Let's develop support systems that are as integral to our operations as the kitchen itself. #mentalhealthawareness #workplacewellness #supportsystems

We believe that the future of mental health support in the workplace will be centred on prevention and proactive wellbeing. Giving individuals a safe space and freedom to learn more about themselves, and self identify what works, and what techniques, strategies and systems they’re comfortable using to sustain their wellbeing. By moving support upstream, encouraging earlier engagement we’re able to help implement culture change. So people avoid getting to crisis point before they reach out. We envision a future where people feel supported, heard, and empowered to take care of their mental wellbeing. With fast and easy access to effective, science backed digital support systems that work. We're excited to be shaping the future of workplace wellbeing, and we're excited to see where the future takes us ⚡. #workplacewellness #mentalfitness #optimiseyourhealth

To enhance psychological and workplace safety, we can: ✔️Promote kindness and empathy in every interaction to create a positive and supportive environment. ✔️Adopt a trauma-informed approach to prevent harassment and violence, making the workplace safe for everyone. ✔️Practice active listening and open communication, showing that all voices and concerns are important. ✔️Build an inclusive culture by valuing diversity and making everyone feel welcome. ✔️Offer practical wellness tips, like managing time-off and handling stress, to improve daily well-being.
