Workplace Wellbeing and Mental Health

MHERC can work with you to improve and maintain a healthy workplace. Supporting your employees' wellbeing can help achieve increased productivity, reduced stress, improved engagement and retention of your valuable people.

Workshops we can offer include: 

Recognising and Responding to Psychological Distress in the Workplace 

Improving the health and safety of your staff means taking reasonable steps to manage risks for both their physical and mental wellbeing. Mental distress is common, with approximately four in five New Zealand adults having experience of mental distress personally or among people they know. It is important to know how to respond to distress in others in an appropriate and empathetic way. This workshop can help managers, supervisors and staff gain the skills to effectively communicate with others to improve their wellbeing. Staff who are confident and capable first responders to mental health and addiction issues are essential to any organisation.

Managing Stress and Increasing Long-Term Wellbeing

Stress has been shown to affect productivity, engagement, morale, physical health, anxiety and can contribute to antisocial behaviour. It is important to address workplace stress and support staff wellbeing, which in turn benefits productivity. This workshop aims to help staff recognise and manage stress, both in the workplace and personally. Learn strategies for improving emotional wellbeing, and understand the principles of maintaining long-term wellbeing.

Strategies to Manage and Cope with Change

 Is your workplace going through changes, such as a restructure or job role changes? Or maybe you have employees going through change in their personal lives, such as a relationship break-up or bereavement? Change is ever-present in our lives, however we are not always happy to embrace it and it can affect our wellbeing and stress-levels. This workshop will provide a deeper understanding of the psychological processes that underpin change and the various coping strategies that can be utilised. It explores the phases we transition through and ways to help us thrive at each stage. This workshop can provide skills for those going through change themselves, or for those supporting others.
