Prioritizing mental health at work, insights from psychologist Emma White on building a thriving workplace culture.
Mental well-being is a critical topic for all of us, both as HR professionals and as human beings.
And with most of us spending an average of 90,000 hours of our lives at work - it really is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace. (Fittingly, the exact theme for this year's World Mental Health Day on 10 October).
This episode we're thrilled to be joined by special guest star Psychologist Emma White, from
mental wellbeing platform OpenUp. Sharing her wide psychology and HR expertise, we discuss why and how we should approach this important (and sometimes overwhelming) topic.
Just a few insights we'll cover...
⭐️ Flip the perspective: How can we focus on 'building resilience' by helping people thrive, rather than just better survive a negative threat like burnout?
⭐️ Psychological safety in the workplace: what does it actually mean, and how to build it?
⭐️ Boundaries: What does this actually mean, how to make them feel less awkward, and how to foster a culture that values them (for the collective good)!
This episode is packed with practical tips for implementing these principles in practice. It is essential listening for all HR professionals, managers, founders, or really anyone looking to improve mental well-being at work.
