Mental & Emotional Health in the Workplace

Understanding Mental and Emotional Health in the Workplace

Workshop Overview

We all have a mental health and one that can cause us much distress or joy. Stress, anxiety and depression are the biggest cause of sickness absence in our society, causing 15.8 million
days of absence in the UK in 2016 (Office for National Statistics, 2017: Sickness absence in the labour market: 2016) .

Organisations that ignore mental health are more likely to suffer sickness, absenteeism, presenteeism and cultural consequences. In addition, prevention is better than cure and by understanding how to harness our emotional and mental health we can improve relationships, collaboration, creativity, motivation and performance.

This is the precursor to being able to create mentally and emotionally healthy teams that are resilient and able to thrive at work.
