Creating a positive mental health and wellbeing culture in your workplace unlocks your teams potential in so many ways that we know you are already well versed in. A powerful framework for achieving this is by integrating the Five Ways to Wellbeing into your people management strategy.
By aligning your management approach with these evidence-based principles, you can foster a workplace culture that promotes mental health, enhances productivity, and nurtures a happier, more engaged workforce.
Our friends at Vista have been working on a new practical guide to how you can translate the Five Ways to Wellbeing into effective people management practices. Take a look at the content here.
Our favourite tips?
- Do remind managers of the importance of making their team a priority by having regular one-to-ones and giving constructive feedback
- Don’t be defeatist! Wellbeing doesn’t always mean we have to run marathons or hit the gym.
- Don’t restrict feedback; PDRs and conversations relating to personal development should never be restricted to annual meetings but should be part of a regular flow of dialogue.
- Don’t think this is some new age guru nonsense! There is a substantial amount of scientific evidence to demonstrate the tangible benefits of ‘taking notice’.
