Unlocking Your Budget and Existing Resources to Thrive
You may be forgiven for assuming that efforts to enhance the mind health and wellbeing of staff is a costly business, but it doesn’t have to be.
Empowering people to thrive at work is challenging, not least because of how complex and diverse we all are.
And because of the dynamics that result from a myriad of different mental ill-health outcomes when we fail to thrive. We’ve devised a range of solutions, interventions and strategies to enhance the psychological wellbeing of your employees.
You may be forgiven for assuming that efforts to enhance the mind health and wellbeing of staff is a costly business, but it doesn’t have to be. Some of the most impactful changes cost nothing, other interventions may end up being cost neutral. Some will cost money but, provided they are evidence-based, they are likely to result in considerable savings in the long-term.
The one thing all interventions will need is time – time to plan, research, implement and evaluate.
These tasks may naturally fall to HR or Health and Safety specialists, but you may be surprised by the level of interest, skills, qualifications, and experience of other members of the work force. For example, you may have someone who loves research and statistics and would thoroughly enjoy evaluating any strategies. You may have staff whose hobbies have resulted in relevant skills development and who would be more than happy to apply them at work.
Resourcing
So, when it comes to using your budget and existing resources to thrive, whatever your business, you will have staff who are more naturally attuned to people than procedures and policies. You’ll have others who are expert at writing and producing information and others who have vision and drive to see a strategy through. You may even have some rare individuals who possess all the necessary skills! But the point is, you almost certainly have most of the required resources within your organisation. If you are aiming for Gold Standard you might even consider appointing someone to a full-time, wellbeing advisor role.
The Model of Dynamic Adaption ® (MDA)
To help makes sense of the myriad of factors that can impact on our mental health, we base our solutions on The Model of Dynamic Adaption®. It arose out of research into why some people thrive and others don’t, encapsulating the fact that our mental health is in constant motion. If organisations can respond flexibly to the dynamics of employee wellbeing, there is a much higher chance of maintaining good mental health for most of us, most of the time.
If you’d like to learn more, our eBook explains how your organisation can ensure your people aren’t just surviving but thriving. It also explains The MDA, which suggests WHERE and, importantly, HOW to intervene, thus promoting the best possible mind health for your staff.
