When it comes to workplace strategies for mental health, it’s imperative that employers and leaders not just focus their attention on any workplace strategies for mental health, but strategies and plans that ultimately result in plenty of positive mental health…at work!
Coming into COVID, mental health as a workplace issue was a distant, far away problem that people simply did not talk about. Coming out of COVID, silence and in-action in today’s world of work is absolutely unacceptable.
Now is the right time to treat mental health as a function of work. It’s about thinking of ourselves and our mental health at work in a completely new and different way. In fact, a mentally healthy workforce drives your business success. And mentally healthy businesses drive our economy. It’s just that simple.
As a Positive Mental Health Champion & Leading Facilitator of Play-Based Team Building Experiences, Robert challenges all of us to take responsibility for positive mental health at work. New stressors, pressures, and responsibilities are faced every day.
When confronted by these challenges, this impacts both the mental and physical energy that people need to not only do their work but also to live their lives outside of work.
And when it is overlooked, recent research indicates that in the absence of a well executed and clearly laid out plan in the workplace, our ability to manage and cope with our daily mental health challenges is significantly impacted:
LET’S CHANGE HOW WE ALL FEEL…FOR THE BETTER!
AFTER ALL, WE HAVE TO BE WELL TO DO WELL!

Staying motivated and energized can be a challenge, especially when it comes to maintaining focus and passion at work. Many employees find themselves struggling to stay engaged, productive and motivated.
Creating a positive workplace culture that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health can not only benefit the employees themselves but also have a positive impact on the organization’s bottom line.
Mental health issues affect a significant number of people and they can impact our performance at work. As an employer or colleague, it’s essential to recognize the signs of poor mental health in the workplace to support coworkers’ wellbeing.
Mental health in the workplace is a topic that has gained widespread attention over recent years. With mental health problems costing employers billions of dollars each year from reduced productivity, increased absenteeism and employee turnover; it’s imperative to address the impact of mental health on workers.
