Mental Wellbeing at Work

This course aims to highlight simple, common sense, practical steps we can all take to improve workplace wellbeing and performance, by developing an understanding of:

• mental wellbeing within a workplace context
• how to take care of your own mental wellbeing at work
• how you can support the mental wellbeing of colleagues
• how managers and staff can work together towards a more mentally healthy workplace for all

As the World Health Organization states – there is no health without mental health.

However, with one in three people saying that work causes them the most stress in life, it’s clear that the workplace – its environment and its culture – can have a major impact on our mental wellbeing, and therefore our overall health. At an organisational level, stress and poor mental health costs UK businesses between £33 billion and £42 billion a year through reduced productivity, high staff turnover and sickness absence.

Conversely, workplaces that promote mental wellbeing and support people with mental illness are more likely to reduce absenteeism, increase productivity and benefit from associated economic gains.

This online Mental Wellbeing for Work course provides and option to help boost the wellbeing of all employees in a sustainable way.
