In today’s fast-paced and demanding work environments, the importance of mental health and wellbeing cannot be overstated. Employers have a critical role to play in ensuring that their staff are supported and that their mental health needs are addressed.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), 1.8 million workers in Great Britain suffered from work-related ill-health in 2022/23.
Alarmingly, work-related stress, depression, or anxiety was identified as the leading cause. These statistics highlight the need for effective mental health support in the workplace. Without it, businesses risk higher absenteeism and presenteeism, and lower productivity.
To address these critical needs, Rise has created a Workplace Wellbeing e-learning programme. A key module in this programme is the “Mental Health and Wellbeing at Work” module. This comprehensive module is designed to provide employees with the knowledge and tools they need to manage their mental health effectively.
By the end of this module, participants will be able to:
- Understand what mental health is and how it can change over time
- Recognise signs and symptoms of stress
- Understand mental health literacy
- Acknowledge the role of mental health in holistic wellbeing
- Understand how to manage mental wellbeing
Prioritising mental health and wellbeing in the workplace is essential for creating a thriving, productive workforce. Employers who invest in their staff’s mental health are not only fulfilling their duty of care but also fostering a positive work environment that benefits everyone.
