May is Mental Health Awareness Month Forget the "feel-good" factor for a sec, because supporting employee mental health is a straight-up business win. Here's why: Less call-ins and presenteeism: Happy, mentally healthy employees are less likely to ditch work or be unproductive while there. Productivity goes up, stress goes down: When people feel good, they focus better and get more done. Simple as that. Turnover takes a nosedive: A supportive work environment makes people want to stick around, saving you the hassle (and cost) of finding replacements. Investing in mental health programs isn't just the right thing to do, it's a smart move for your bottom line. Let's prioritize well-being and watch our teams thrive! #MentalHealthAwareness #BusinessBenefits

It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it.... With that earworm now firmly established, let's get serious for a minute. Did you know that around 71% of employers celebrate events such as mental health awareness days, only 36% provide actual mental health support that their people rate as good or outstanding? Are these really the employers people want to work for? Potentially not, as the survey asked employees the questions and the outcome was that more than a third of employers were reported as wellbeing washing. Not putting their money where their mouth was. Not truly investing in people, just talking a good talk. The problem is, stress is real. Employees feeling undervalued is real. So the solutions and the care needs to be real too. I'd love your thoughts on this. (Source: Claro Wellbeing) #wellbeingwashing #mentalfitness #selfleadership #negativethinking #personaldevelopment #performanceimprovement #dreamacademy

Navigating a workplace with a lack of empathy in the team is like sailing in a storm without a compass. It's a journey that can take a toll on your mental health, and here's why it's a compelling issue. Imagine a workplace where understanding, compassion, and team spirit are in short supply. It's where productivity struggles, trust crumbles, and innovation falters. The absence of empathy can leave you feeling isolated and stressed. Now, imagine you're not just up against a lack of empathy in your team but also dealing with a team that resorts to manipulation and intimidation. The result? Anxiety, self-doubt, and a constant sense of insecurity that is bound to make you question your worth. Recognizing and addressing these challenges is essential; it's an opportunity to transform your workplace into a space where your mental health can thrive. #mentalhealthatwork #workplaceempathy #mentalhealthmatters #thursdaythoughts

Shock horror! EAPs don't want your employees to use them! Why are you so surprised? Something that costs so little clearly has super low utilisation. Counsellors and therapists are qualified professionals. They quite rightly charge £££s/hour. They're not a commodity. The news about a major EAP being investigated for how they manage cases makes for sad reading. And the reports from ex and current employees shines a light on why they're so cheap. But wasn't it obvious? There are better ways to look after and invest in your team's mental health and wellbeing. But cheap can't ever come into the equation when it comes to providing mental health support that works. Plumm can help if you're ready to make a real investment in people and performance. Otherwise why bother? #mentalhealth #humanresources #performance
