About the Mental Health Awareness Training Course at Elston HR

Conversations about health tend to focus more on the physical, even though mental health has just as big of an impact on the well-being of any person. That’s why, any discussion involving health and wellness in the workplace must place equal, if not more, emphasis on mental health.

Around 15% of workers in the UK are said to be suffering from an existing mental health condition, according to the Mental Health Foundation UK. This is just one of the multiple alarming statistics that raise concerns about how poor mental health may be negatively affecting or hindering employment participation. While many modern workplaces do make efforts to create a great employee experience, there is still more to be done. This brings our focus to a pressing need: the importance of mental health awareness training in the workplace.

Our mental health awareness training experts sensitise your workforce about mental health issues, teach them how to recognise these issues in themselves and others, and support open conversations about mental health and well-being in the workplace.

Top Benefits of Our Mental Health Awareness Training

Mental health issues can affect employees as well as the organisation as a whole. Employees are the backbone of any organisation, and, as an employer or manager, it’s key that you offer the necessary support to your staff for their mental health and well-being. Show you’re there for your employees by leveraging the outcomes of our comprehensive mental health awareness training course. Our course offers multiple benefits, improving performance, building morale, and fostering a supportive environment.

Here’s how our mental health awareness training can benefit employees and your organisation:

Identify and Tackle Stressors

Show more
Overstressed employees are more likely to hit burnout and quit. Training on mental health can help you identify your employees’ workplace stressors and find ways to tackle them. You learn ways to recognise and mitigate the at-work and outside-of-work stressors. With the right training, you’ll know how to be open and willing to care for your employees in appropriate ways and show your support.

For instance, if an employee has been struggling with work-life balance, you can extend flexible working hours to bring some normalcy into their home and work lives.

Improved Productivity and Performance

Show more
Research has shown that mental health awareness training leads to improved workplace performance and productivity. Trained employees are sensitive and more attuned to recognise when they or their colleagues need help in mental health matters. The right training helps your employees quickly recognise what’s causing them stress and be in more control of their mental well-being.

Your employees will also learn how to self-regulate by taking a step back or delegating without affecting future tasks. This self-awareness will prevent them from taking time off due to mental health issues. Even if some of your employees do take a break, they’ll be able to return to work in a better frame of mind.

Build and Lead a Resilient Team

Show more
Employees with better mental well-being are more proactive towards collaborating with coworkers. They feel more open to communicating effectively and solving problems. Mental health awareness training can encourage your employees to provide support to team members as well as create an environment that supports working more efficiently towards shared goals.

With Elston HR’s mental health awareness training workshop, your team members will learn to enhance relationships within a team by building a better understanding and compassion for team members. This improved communication improves collaboration across your teams and enables your company to deal with challenges and unforeseen issues quicker and more effectively.

Reduced Absenteeism and Turnover

Show more
Mental health awareness training teaches team leaders and managers the significance of creating healthier work environments. Employees working in such supportive workplace settings have lower chances of experiencing burnout or developing mental health-related problems. A better understanding of mental well-being lowers absenteeism and quit rates due to poor mental health, overwork fatigue, and job dissatisfaction.

Foster a Supportive Workplace Culture

Show more
Reducing the stigma surrounding mental health is one of the prime objectives of Elston HR’s mental health awareness training workshop. Your employees will learn to watch out for the common signs of mental distress and recognise potential risk factors of ill mental health. They’ll also learn about managing stress through self-care activities such as mindfulness and relaxation techniques, and various resources to seek professional help if needed.

This helps those struggling with the conditions feel safe and supported at work.

Drives Focus on Overall Well-Being

Show more
Learning about mental health offers employees benefits both on professional and personal levels. It ensures a healthy working environment for employees when an organisation is invested in the right mental well-being initiatives.

With the help of our mental health awareness training workshop, your employees can find ways to strike the right balance in their overall well-being. By strengthening their mental health, they build or stay invested in their physical health and emotional well-being as well. With our training, you’ll learn how your employees can thrive and contribute positively towards your organisation’s long-term goals.
