Benefits
The creation of a customised, robust and evidence-informed strategy will benefit employers by providing:
- a scaffold to link together otherwise disparate supports and resources
- a decision-making framework related to mental health and wellbeing interventions and providers
- a strategic reference so that current resources and future interventions can be directed to create greatest impact
- demonstration of organisational commitment to employee’s mental health and wellbeing
- reference to help employers comply with health and safety laws in relation to psychological health
Numerous studies have referenced additional benefits including employee engagement, productivity uplift and return on investment. Australian businesses generate an average return of $2.30 for every $1 they invest in effective workplace mental health strategies, and up to $10.00 for evidence informed people leader training.
Approach
Based on an integrated approach to workplace mental health (promote, protect, support), we will audit your existing programs, services and supports, map them to best practice research, and create a customised workplace mental health and wellbeing strategy with defined objectives, targets and actions around leadership; risk; understanding; practice; and support.
