We offer programs to businesses to support and improve the mental health and wellbeing of their employees.
Healthy employees equal a healthy business.
That’s why everyone wants to invest in the wellness of their greatest asset – their people!
Work-related stress is a growing problem that affects not only the health and well-being of employees, but also the productivity of businesses. Did you know that work-related stress is the second most common compensated illness/injury in Australia, after musculoskeletal disorders? Wow!
Work-related stress arises where work demands of various types and combinations exceed the person’s capacity and capability to cope. What one person may perceive as stressful, however, another may view as challenging. Whether a person experiences work-related stress depends on the job, the person’s psychological make-up, and other factors (such as personal life and
general health).
Under the Work Health and Safety Act, employers who fail to meet their legal obligations in relation to employee wellbeing can face hefty fines. This is an issue no responsible manager/business owner can afford to ignore. However, businesses that invest in improving their workforce wellness will see a quantifiable return of investment. Research shows that for every dollar spent on targeted action to increase workplace wellness, there is an average of $2.30 in benefits to be gained.
Managing workplace wellbeing in a business not only minimises legal risks but makes good business sense. Discovering The Best You will assist employers identify and manage these risks in the workplace, and assist to create a healthy and compliant environment. From practical strategies for tackling tricky
workplace situations, through to inspiration for the low motivation days that everyone experiences at different times, we understand what people want to know and provide the answers to make every day work and life healthy, happy and fulfilled.
Our key difference is our wholistic approach. Instead of focusing narrowly on physical health or a single topic, we support the whole person – their physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing, resilience to stress, and job fulfilment. After all, strong wellbeing is essential for resilience to life’s challenges and being able to embrace one’s full potential. Our programs are delivered in an engaging and positive way to support the performance and wellbeing of your employees.
Our Mind Your Health program for Workplace Wellness also includes latest research and practices from the fields of Mental Health, Mindfulness, Physical Health, Life Coaching and also through lived experience. These skills and strategies are supported by practical tools that help to embed wellbeing
principles and practices into everyday life. Our interactive workplace wellness workshops focus on key workplace challenges to improve employee health and wellbeing.
