For Managers and Leaders
Overview
Improving the wellbeing of your workforce and investing in a mentally healthy workplace will reap many benefits for your team, and individual staff, to yourself, and for the Organisation. Results from four internal 缅北禁地Staff wellbeing surveys, and internal sick leave and pension data, demonstrate a clear need that more has to be done to protect, improve and resolve the mental health and wellbeing of 缅北禁地staff members.
49% of staff reported significant symptoms of mental health concern, but only 6% in total are receiving professional support, and only 2% of those are receiving that support from internal programs. (Source 缅北禁地Global Health and Wellbeing Survey 2015, total responses n=17365 staff completed or partially completed).
A key objective of the 缅北禁地System Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy is an increase in staff member resilience, productivity and engagement.
