KEEPING WORKERS IN THE KNOW
A common mistake organizations make after conducting a needs assessment is not reporting
back to staff in a timely and honest manner. One way of ensuring your program flourishes
is understanding the diversity of your workforce and encouraging worker participation at
all levels – to offer their input and suggestions.
Research from Cloverpop, a decision making and collaboration software company, found that
inclusive teams make better business decisions 87% of the time, with those decisions yielding
60% better results.
Essentially, do not treat mental health initiatives as some kind of 'flavour of the month' trend.
It's not something to be forced upon your staff. These programs need to be implemented for
the right reasons, with the mindset of transforming your workplace rather than ticking a box
on a health and safety report.
It's a journey – but it's one worthwhile.
Incorporating senior leadership
In order for any workplace mental health program to be successful, it's
essential that your senior leadership team is visible and active throughout
the development stage.
A workplace mental health program takes effort and patience. Remember,
creating a mentally healthy workplace requires continual improvement
over time, there is no quick fix.
