Mental health issues have a significant impact on an organisation. They disrupt the psychological well-being of the employees, they reduce productivity, and they can lead to absenteeism. Yet, only 1 in 3 companies provides the necessary help. Our expert, Bart Vriesacker, explains how you can provide maximum support to your employees with 'First Aid for Mental Health Issues':
The do’s and don’ts
of a confidential chat
Learn to recognise psychosocial risks early on and learn to initiate dialogue or to refer employees to professional help in order to prevent absenteeism.
Roadmap
for practical procedures
No organisation is immune to psychosocial problems. A structural, preventive approach establishes procedures which make sure everyone knows what can or should be done in case of emergency.
In one day, learn how you, as an HR staff member, a supervisor or a member of the management team, can detect mental health issues at an early stage. The training consists of a theoretical component, during which an expert explains the causes and symptoms of specific psychological problems. The importance of procedures in laying down preventive scenarios and assigning responsibilities is also discussed. This is followed by practice: through simulations and role play situations, participants discover how to react appropriately.
“This excellent workshop – one of the better ones I’ve ever attended – is a must for executives and confidential advisors. Also all the participants I spoke to afterwards were very satisfied. Worth repeating!”
