As we navigate the range of challenges of the ever changing workplace, focusing on mental health and wellbeing at work is more important than ever before.
We are delighted to bring you a series of webinars, bringing together leaders and experts in workplace mental health to share practical advice. The topics are designed to spark conversation and inspire knowledge sharing on best practice approaches, to create a culture of positive mental health and wellbeing in your workplace.
Did you know a third of managers (33%) say they feel out of their depth supporting their team with mental health concerns, and only 45% of managers have had training on how to hold mental health conversations?
We know that managers play a vital role in creating mentally healthy, high-performing teams but how can they best support employees who are living with a diagnosed mental health condition?
Join this practical webinar to explore how managers can support individuals while balancing wellbeing and performance. We will look at what good support looks like, the common challenges managers face, and the tools needed to make a real difference.
