Mental Health - a relevant topic every single day. Working for a company which puts employee wellbeing on the agenda and makes resources available to support wellbeing is uplifting. What do you do to take care of your wellbeing every day?

I recently had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Ashley Whillans from Harvard Business School about a Harvard Business Review article she newly co-authored, which examines why workplace mental health and well-being programs often fail to deliver better outcomes despite growing employer investment: https://lnkd.in/ga5qSbg8. Dr. Whillans researches individual and organizational strategies to improve workers’ health and happiness, focusing on how time use at work and outside of work affects mental health. The clip below highlights our discussion on “carewashing” — a byproduct of superficial well-being initiatives — and addresses the research-practice gap, which reflects the disconnect between evidence-based recommendations and the implementation of mental health and well-being programs in organizations. As I look to uncover and address systematic barriers to employee well-being and mental health in my own research, this conversation provided valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities for creating meaningful, evidence-based workplace interventions. Thank you sincerely to Dr. Whillans for sharing her knowledge and time.

Mental health isn't just about dodging stress—it's about thriving amidst the daily chaos. In a world where deadlines, targets, and emails crash like a chaotic party, taking a breather and looking after our mental well-being are key to sustained happiness and success. I've had my fair share of late nights and those "caffeine-fuelled turbocharged sessions” that left me wondering if I had more coffee than sense! Balancing leadership with personal sanity has taught me to embrace my quirks and prioritise mental health. It's no easy feat—trust me, it takes constant reminders and the occasional nudge from everyone around.   At TeleChoice, we're committed to making a positive impact right here in our workplace. As we gear up for our #WalkforMentalHealth Day on 1 October 2024, we're placing a special emphasis on supporting each other's burdens and embracing moments of joy as a team, all while staying true to our CLAP (Collaboration, Learning, Accountability, Performance) culture. For instance, we're injecting some fun into tough meetings by starting with a "chocolate-first" agenda item. We also regularly gather over coffee to openly discuss and tackle challenging issues, ensuring everyone's voice is heard. These "sanity checks" are just as crucial as achieving our financial goals and underscore our commitment to making mental well-being a cornerstone of our work culture.   As we count down to the walk, we're preparing to unveil even more initiatives that will enrich our journey towards mental well-being, ensuring everyone at TeleChoice feels included and empowered. Each of us brings unique talents and personalities which enriched our company culture, and for that, we are truly grateful. Here's to raising our coffee mugs to good mental health, exceptional teamwork, and a workplace that is welcoming. Let's embrace a future where mental health care isn't just a checkbox—it's intricately woven into the fabric of our daily lives. Cheers!   #WalkForMentalHealth, #CLAPCulture, #MentalHealthAwareness, #WorkplaceWellbeing

We all have a part to play—big or small—in creating a better society that cares for both people and the environment. I truly believe The Walters Method (TWM) is a toolkit for our times. It is more than just a mental well-being approach; it's about liberation—freeing our minds from constraints so we can be the change we want to see. Here’s why I’m so passionate about it... ✨ TWM offers a fresh perspective on releasing what holds us back and finding real purpose. It’s unlike traditional methods and brings new, powerful techniques to the table. 💡 It goes beyond clarity in the moment—TWM helps heal past trauma, resulting in profound shifts in how we think and feel. ⚡ In times of emotional distress or doubt, TWM offers immediate release. It’s been invaluable for me during moments of crisis and emotional upheaval. 🛠️ TWM empowers us with practical tools to take control of our mental wellbeing and stay on track, giving us the courage and certainty to make real change. Once we free our minds, we can focus on what truly matters. I'd love to speak to businesses looking to improve workplace wellbeing and through that, boosting engagement, productivity and retention. Let's make yours a workplace where people love to work 💚 #Mentalhealth #Personalgrowth #Wellbeing
