Giving support, whether physically, emotionally or psychologically, to a person is not one size fits all.
The support that you give someone, may not be the same support the other person needs. So find out what support your team needs because that will not only help them, but also the business as a whole.

Workplace bullying is not uncommon, it happens within organisations.
So how can we reduce bullying in the workplace?
Not only does it affect our team, but it affects the organisation as a whole. It costs us money when people leave and good talent and people.
So what are we doing about it? Do we have policies in place? Are we communicating that out to our teams?
Let's support a happy, positive culture at work.

What is EAP or Employee Assistance Program?
Do you have one at work? Have you utilised it?
Not everyone in your team might be familiar with it nor are they eager to reach out to it. As a leader, there are different ways you can encourage them.

An act of kindness, however small, can make a positive impact on you and others. It doesn't take up lots of time or energy, and the simplest gestures are often the most impactful.
I'd love to know if you have experienced a random act of kindness from someone or if you have done one yourself and what it was that you did for someone. How does it feel?
Share them below.

Do you know what the psychosocial risks and hazards are in your business?
In Proactive Action, we've created a Workplace Mental Health Quiz that will help you up-skill, improve, develop, and understand what to do to prevent psychosocial risks and hazards within your business.
I hope you find as much information and incorporate it within your business.
Click the link here, and take the quiz. It's free.

How can you better communicate with your employees?
Communication has no hard and fast rules, and what works for one person may not work for another. We are all different, it's not one size fits all, so consider what is important to them when communicating with them.
The key to communicating effectively with your employees is understanding the different ways they communicate.
Communicate in a way that makes them feel safe, heard and respected.

Do you know how to spot signs that someone is feeling lonely and isolated at work?
Loneliness and isolation are real workplace health issues. It can be hard to distinguish the feeling of loneliness.
It's important to know when people are starting to feel isolated at work, so that we can reach out and help.

What do rewards and recognition look like in your organisation?
To achieve good levels of rewards & recognition, both extrinsically and intrinsically, we must communicate to our people how we can serve them.
Rewards and recognition are low cost, but they bring a high impact to motivate our people.
How are you recognising good behaviour and good outcomes within your business?

What makes you happy?
It is a common question that we get. Doing things we want at the moment can make us happy, but usually, these are short-lived.
Happiness is something that we can find in simple moments, if we choose to. And it's something we can continue to have if we are in control, we are aware and we are being intentional. So even in difficult moments in life, know that you can still choose to be happy.

How do we create habits?
When we want to start and learn something new, it's always a personal choice and it takes effort to make it work.
The first thing to do is establish a habit, eventually becoming a routine. It's a great way to achieve your goals and avoid exhaustion and stress.

How do you manage time boundaries?
People often get stressed out because they feel overwhelmed with the things they need to do.
Supporting them on how to manage their time can make them feel more fulfilled because they're getting more done in the day.

Why are consultations necessary?
To comply with workplace health and safety, we have to encourage consultations within our teams and understand what’s going on within the workplace.
Getting excellent feedback from various people in our business shows us what we need to do to move forward and keep our people happy and safe.
#consultations #safetyworkplace #healthyworkplace #workplacewelbeing
Are you aware of the unseen risks within your business?
We have to understand that there are risks and hazards that we can't see. When we start looking at what mechanisms we have in place in the business and bring transparency around this, we save our people and the company from risks.
Start seeing the unseen.

How do you monitor what you are doing with regards to EAP and peer support groups in your business?
It's really concerning that lot of companies are not extracting data and feedback from their employees.
This is crucial because this data can be useful to help your people be mentally healthy and to keep the business moving forward and show what's actually going on within your business.
#data #psychosocial #EAP #peersupportgroups #mentalhealthfirstaider
How do you measure mental health and psychosocial risks in the business? Can you actually measure it?
In Proactive Action, we created the MindSafe System which collects data from the business to analyse what is actually happening.
Being data driven is crucial as it saves so much time of your team.

We think we are doing our best to support our people, but as it turns out, there is still work related stress present in them.
So how do we help sort it out?
It's about understanding them from a psychosocial point of view on what is impacting them, what they want and need from the business, and why they want and need it.

There is a massive stigma happening around mental health, especially in male oriented industries.
When we're looking at mental health in our workplaces, we need to look at how we break down the stigma and have an effective communication.
This video will encourage you to change the way you are communicating about mental health.

More people are becoming more aware about the term "psychosocial risks" but not what it truly means.
There are a lot of factors that impact our mental health safety and recognising it ahead of time is important.

How much time do you spend thinking or worrying about work?
Worrying is an indication that we need to do something. We need to make a choice, you can either do something to stop yourself from worrying or don't.
There's no point in worrying, so start enjoying life and spending time with people that matter.

To keep physically healthy, we exercise and even go to a gym. But to keep our mental health healthy, there is no specific exercise to be done.
To take care of our mental health, we have to think about what things we are doing that bring a positive impact and what causes us stress.
What are you currently doing with regards to looking after your mental health?
