What if… investing in greater understanding of business insurance benefits could reduce national mental health outcomes? Planning and preparing for the impact of major disasters on your community's businesses can help them weather the tough times – and have a positive effect on their mental health. Experiencing distress during a disaster or major business disruption is perfectly normal, but by planning and preparing for the worst you can mitigate the emotional impact and move forward more quickly. Businesses are essential to communities. We know when local businesses thrive, communities do too.

Are you an employer? Here is another cost-effective way for you to help your employees.   For those living with a serious health condition, managing day-to-day tasks while facing the uncertainty of their illness impacts not only their mental and physical health, but their personal and professional lives as well. In addition, dealing with mental health issues can require taking time off – which could last for weeks or even years. Taking extended time off can lead to loss of income, which is a potent stressor itself. Having unwell employees may also impact productivity and the wellbeing of other staff members. Company supported Income Protection insurance can help by replacing a portion of your employee’s regular income if they are too sick or injured to work, and many policies now provide extra support for employees and family members experiencing mental health issues. Reach out if I can help you support your employees. It costs less than you think. 😊 #connectandgrow #HR #employeebenefits

Taking short walks during office hours can have significant long-term benefits for both physical and mental well-being. Be it in the office corridors or strolling outside with peers, never lose out on an opportunity to make the most of these short walks, as these walks takes care of the emotional well-being and help combat the negative effects of prolonged sitting, such as stiffness in muscles and joints, by increasing blood flow and circulation. Research shows that brief, intermittent breaks throughout the workday can actually improve overall productivity by preventing mental fatigue and improving cognitive function. Incorporating short walks into your daily routine at the office can have a positive impact on both your physical and mental well-being.
