Thriving at work is a winning formula for all
Business is at its best when people are at their best. A positive approach to mental health at work is a key determinant in becoming an employer of choice. When people want to work for you because they feel valued and supported, you can recruit and retain the best talent to create winning mentality.
“How can we pride ourselves on being about our people but not really understand mental health?”
My mission is to help create a culture where conversations about Mental Health in the workplace are normalised. This will build a better and safer workplace for your staff and, in turn, improve the productivity of your company, your retention, and your brand.
