WHY MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING?
17 million work days were lost in 2021/22 to stress, anxiety and depression according to the Health and Safety Executive.
How many more days were lost to the physical illnesses that may been linked to mental illness?
Research shows our physical and mental health are interconnected and so when we don't look after our mental well-being, it can often impact on our physical health, manifesting into a physical illness.
That's why we need to recognise the importance of looking after both our physical and mental health and prioritise workplace health and well-being to proactively take care of the most important asset – our staff team.
- Investing in individual's well-being is inherently valuable by enhancing health, resilience, and balance
- From a business perspective, it demonstrates a commitment and care to your staff team, which boosts morale
- When staff feel valued and appreciated, they are more engaged and committed, which improves productivity and
performance, attendance and retention
- Empowering staff to look after their physical and mental health, and knowing they are supported to work through any
difficulties often encourages people to seek early intervention, helping to reduce sickness absence
- The organisation's reputation builds as one that respects and cares for their staff
The benefits of proactively investing in staff health and well-being definitely outweighs the cost
Developing a Well-being Strategy and practices embeds a proactive culture to health and well-being, which enables employees to sustain or improve their physical, mental and emotional health, positively impacting on their lives in and out of work

COACHING AND SUPERVISION
Investing time and resources into coaching or supervision is a real investment in you, your well-being and developemnt which in turn benefits your business and team.
When we are well, we are more resilient, energised, function more effectively, make better informed decision, and have clarity and purpose.
Coaching and supervision give leaders and staff the team and space to take a pause, to reflect on and question their current situations, priorities, or challenges to gain clarity.
Coaching
Coaching is a highly valuable and powerful resources to support and develop individuals or teams by -
- providing a safe space to talk about issues and developmental areas in a confidential environment
- enabling you to recognise and develop personal strategies, identify goals and actions to achieve these
- challenging you to support your development as well as well as recognising and maximising your strengths
- increasing your confidence, ability to manage others and handle difficult situations or conversations
- building team collaboration and co-creation of ideas
One-to-one coaching: an initial meeting / call to establish rapport and the focus of the coaching programme. The programme is often between 4-6 sessions and each are usually around one hour in length
Team coaching: as above but usually the sessions are longer - each around two hours in length
Supervision
Supervision provides a framework for discussing challenging situations, for process and reflection, giving time to consider and explore different options available.
- It provides a safe space to question, challenge and affirm; it is restorative both professionally and personally
- It supports the development of knowledge, competence and confidence in everyday practice or in challenging
situations
One-to-one supervision: usually one-hour sessions monthly - sessions are on-going
"The way the coaching was delivered put the onus on me (without me being aware it was) to be reflective and talk through situations. I now feel more in control and more confident in articulating myself so I can give constructive direction and feedback to people. This has has a notable positive impact on my well-being because I now feel more confident in my own abilities to direct and lead other around me."
