They are simple and proven actions you can introduce in your workplace to help your team find balance, build resilience, and boost their mental health and wellbeing:
Connect:
feeling close to and valued by others boosts wellbeing. Take a moment every day to connect with colleagues.
Be Active:
being physically active improves physical health and can improve mood and wellbeing, decreasing stress, depression, and anxiety. Go for a walk or run. Step outside.
Take Notice:
pay more attention to the present moment, thoughts, feelings, and the world around.
Keep Learning:
be curious. Try something new. Take on a new responsibility.
Give:
acts of kindness, small or large, can increase happiness and life satisfaction. Do something nice for a teammate. Thank someone. Celebrate wins.
It sounds simple but it’s often the simple things that fall through the cracks. Workplaces have a legal responsibility to manage risks to mental health and wellbeing just like they do any other health and safety risk.
Workplaces that prioritise mental health have better engagement, reduced absenteeism, and higher productivity, while people have greater morale and higher job satisfaction.
Have you incorporated measures to support wellbeing into your organisation’s health and safety plan? A toolkit that makes it easy to support your people to build the Five Ways into their day-to-day lives can be found on the Mental Health Foundation’s website.
Tax and Trust have been our Church’s Accountants for approximately 13 years. They always do their upmost for our Church and for any help I need or questions answered. As we are a Charity they take care of all our Charity Obligations with filing to the Charities Commission and with our Auditors with their yearly audit of our Accounts. We use the XERO Accounting System and Michelle and her team always help us with any queries. The whole team at Tax & Trust have always been friendly and helpful to myself. I have no hesitation in recommending them for any Clients that are Charities or just need new Accountants that they can trust who are professional & efficient Accountants.
