The problem

Poor mental health is a costly problem

One in six workers will experience mental health problems, like anxiety, stress or depression, at any given time. Fostering an open and supportive work culture goes a long way towards helping employees feel valued in their work and, importantly, confident in talking about mental health.

You have taken the first, most important step in volunteering to be trained as a Mental Health First Aider/Advocate. You want to support your colleagues as best you can and signpost them to the best support resources available.

However, in the majority of companies, there is still an unease by colleagues to speak up about their struggles and we see many Mental Health First Aiders never being approached for support.

The Solution

How to support wellbeing at work

You owe it to your colleagues to be that driving force behind workplace wellbeing. Regular one-to-ones, a listening ear and encouraging positive mental health are all steps a Mental Health First Aider can take to create a supportive environment – but being able to pinpoint where that help should be directed and personalise it is the way to effect real change.

Govox is key to that change.

Our Happiness Index will highlight who in a team is least happy, our Red Flag alerts will highlight areas where your colleagues are struggling, all indicators that help support staff like you prioritise those proactive outreach conversations.
