wellbeing at work

Mental health problems are being recognised by government and private business alike as being a major cause lost productivity within the UK.  

There is a liklihood that one sixth of your workforce are suffering from a common mental health problem, including anxiety, depression and others.

As a consequence the estimate is that one fifth of sickness absence days are the result of mental health related issues.

Those who do not take sickness absence can cause further financial loss through presenteeism or staff turnover.

Leadership Modules

Below are our six pre-developed modules intended to be delivered to those in a leadership position.  Each module is experiential, meaning that it is most effective when delivered to up to nine participants who are happy to be actively involved in the learning and are comfortable discussing mental health in a professional context with colleagues. Each module will take around a half day to deliver, including comfort break and also includes printed supplementary material to take away.  It is possible to comission the delivery up to three modules in a standard eight hour working day, which will include lunch and two comfort breaks.
