Edwin Mouriño-Ruiz, Ph.D. Executive Coach-Helping leaders help themselves’ Post

For those who know me, baring my soul isn’t something I usually do. But today, in the hope of raising awareness of the importance of increasing standards of workplace mental health, I will break this habit. Mike and I had once lived together in Sydney for several years. He was a Psychoanalyst. He was always there for others in their times of need. Sadly, even with all of his years of training, tools and insights, Mike took his life after quietly struggling with his own mental health. Leaving behind loving parents, siblings and many friends. Losing Mike has been a significant impact on my own mental health and more often than not, I am able to channel these feelings into purposeful action aimed at helping others. It is for this reason I partnered with Dr Suzy Green who is a Clinical Psychologist, a Coaching Psychologist with over 25 years of experience in the service of others. Suzy is also a dear friend and global thought leader in the area of wellbeing and performance science. It still surprises me that even in the face of sharply rising rates of anxiety and depression, workplace mental health is frequently seen as ‘a nice to have’. Last week Dr Suzy Green,Associate Professor Sean O'Connor and I, presented at the European Conference on Positive Psychology in Innsbruck, Austria. The overwhelming view from those who attended in Innsbruck is the need for practitioners and senior leaders to take a more systems level approach to tackling workplace mental health. The title of our presentation in Innsbruck was ‘Embedding Positive Psychology Science: The Potential Role of Organisational Operating Rhythms’. The World Economic Forum video below with Kathleen M. Pike from Columbia University shares some high impact mental health trends and statistics, including the importance of having a clearly articulated workplace mental health plan. To help leaders take a more systemic lens, we have created a thorough and affordable workplace diagnostic that helps senior leaders to evaluate their organisational rhythms, including wellbeing, productivity and engagement. If these are leadership issues you care about, please get in touch with us as. Thriviae.com We’d love to collaborate with you on creating a productive, thriving workplace and leadership culture 😊

Mental health is increasingly recognized as a critical component of the future workplace. It has the power to drive and impact several key factors such as: productivity and performance, employee retention, cost reduction, workplace culture, adaptability and resilience legal and ethical responsibilities, innovation and creativity and customer satisfaction. Now it's the best time to be vulnerable and talk about it! By prioritizing mental health and having a strategy about it we enable happier, healthier, more productive and sustainable work environment.

Important insight… Let’s boost productivity by paying close attention to employees’ well being.

Mental health is fundamentally crucial in the workplace. It directly impacts employee productivity, decision-making, and overall performance. Addressing mental health can lead to a more inclusive, supportive, and productive work environment. #leaders #workingenvironment #workingculture #people #management #culture

In today's fast-paced and high-pressure work environment, prioritizing mental health is more critical than ever. Employees who feel mentally supported are not only more productive but also more engaged and creative. A workplace that fosters mental well-being reduces absenteeism, lowers healthcare costs, and improves overall morale. By providing resources such as counseling services, stress management workshops, and a culture of open communication, businesses can create a healthier, more sustainable work environment. Investing in mental health isn't just a moral imperative—it's a strategic advantage that benefits both employees and employers alike.
