Over 50% of workers want their employers to do more to support mental wellbeing.
World Wellbeing Week kicked off yesterday, so if you’re wondering how you can support the mental and physical health of your team members, your timing couldn’t be better. 🙌 Now’s the perfect opportunity to reflect on how you’re showing up for your team, both mentally and physically.
💬 Listen to your team
Good leadership starts with great listening. Take the time to understand what your team members are facing both in and out of work. Real conversations build trust and stronger environments.
💪 Prioritise physical health
A safe, healthy workspace isn’t optional. It’s essential to keep your team thriving. Start by assessing your employees’ work stations and ensure the right procedures are in place to protect their long-term wellbeing.
🧠 Support mental health
Mental illness accounts for half of all workplace health issues in the UK. Encourage openness, remove stigma, and offer real support systems. Let your team know you’re there to help and are open to having honest conversation about their wellbeing.
🎁 Offer more than a wage slip
It’s time to think beyond salaries. Holistic benefits like counselling, fitness perks (such as gym memberships), or a cycle-to-work scheme make a real difference to morale and retention.
This World Wellbeing Week, make a conscious decision to move from intention to action. Your team is your biggest asset. Invest in their wellbeing, and you invest in everyone’s success. 💙
