A workshop designed to equip managers to support employee mental wellbeing in the workplace is set to take place this April.
The ‘Mental Health for Managers’ course, run by The Engaging People Company and Bamboo Mental Health, will take place on Thursday 19th April at Open in Norwich.
Through the workshop, which builds on the success of an earlier session in 2016, attendees will be able to identify and recognise the signs of poor mental health, and understand the impact of mental wellbeing within the work environment.
Michelle Gant, Director of The Engaging People Company said:
“Managers have an absolutely critical role in supporting and promoting wellbeing within the workplace but conversations about mental health can be daunting.
“By the end of this course, attendees will feel confident to have better conversations with their direct reports, leading to improved manager-employee relationships, better wellbeing and, ultimately, increased engagement and satisfaction.”
Attendees will also be empowered to have safe and effective conversations around mental health, and identify the support they can offer. The session will also look at legislation, and how to build a practical wellbeing support plan.
Tom Oxley, Director of Bamboo Mental Health said: “Companies who want to make a difference will train their managers. It’s an effective way of putting support through the organisation and reaching those who need it. Managers who leave the course will be confident to take on those complex conversations – to help their team and the employer.”
The course is suitable for small and large employers from all sectors and feedback from the previous session included: ‘The workshop was excellent, and I came away feeling empowered.’
