Health and wellbeing

Suicidal thoughts are far more common than many people think, but talking about suicide can still feel like the ultimate taboo. Workplaces play a crucial role in promoting mental wellbeing, spotting suicide risks and intervening to keep people safe and prevent suicide. In this session Michelle and Amy share their lived experience and insights to support individuals and organisations to prevent and respond to suicide risk.

Join us for a thought-provoking one-hour webinar designed to explore the concept of collective trauma from an organisational lens.

Are conversations about periods and menopause common in your organisation? Do you feel your organisation could do more in this space, so colleagues have the safety and support they need to be at their best? This session will explore why supporting menopause and periods in the workplace is business critical rather than a nice to have well-being initiative. 

April marks Stress Awareness Month, however we believe addressing stress takes ongoing and continued support. This webinar will take a look at practical tools in understanding where stress and worry comes from and how to focus on managing it in the long term.

Time to Talk Day is an annual awareness day held at the beginning of February. It’s a day for us all to start a conversation about mental health. Talking about mental health isn’t easy. But a conversation has the power to change lives. Join Inclusive Employers for this webinar looking at how we can keep mental health and wellbeing on our priority list in the workplace. We will look at the key principles in understanding mental health and resilience and how to embed mental health awareness and understanding into your organisation.

The World Health Organisation estimates 25% of women aged 15-49 years old who have been in a relationship, have suffered physical violence from their partner. This domestic abuse can result in mental and physical health consequences for women, and can even sometimes be fatal. It can also affect the wellbeing of those around, such as children and other family members. Domestic abuse can describe physical and non physical events, such as coercion, manipulation, gaslighting, threating, controlling, and many other behaviours. Also, domestic abuse does not apply only to partners; perpetrators of domestic abuse can be any other family member or close relationship. The Crime Survey for England and Wales estimated in 2020 that 2/3 of people experiencing domestic abuse were women.

November 25th is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and in this webinar we will address how domestic abuse doesn’t remain at home, and as employers, we have a responsibility to support our colleagues who are experiencing domestic abuse. Their experience can also impact the workplace, performance, absence, job security and other individuals in the organisation.

On 19th November, we commemorate International Men’s Day. This is as relevant a time as ever to talk about a topic that is still seen by many as a taboo: men’s mental health. We know that at any one time, 12.5% of men report having a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety disorders. By talking about and raising awareness to mental health struggles that men face, we hope to be dismantling some taboos and preconceptions associated with stereotypical views of masculinity, and help improve and even save lives in the process.

This session will explore why supporting menopause in the workplace is business critical rather than a nice to have well-being initiative. Join us for an interactive webinar designed to encourage discussion, collaboration and promote a positive, inclusive culture where it’s ok to talk about menopause.

Emotional intelligence in the workplace can be a very useful skill. It is the ability to identify and regulate one’s own emotions and understand and empathise with others emotions in such a way that communication and resolutions can be healthy and productive. This means that teams can be more cohesive, more productive and more trusting with one another. Some emotional intelligence can be innate, but some of the skills and understanding required for high emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition which can have debilitating impacts on a person’s life. It has two main components: obsession, such as intrusive thoughts, and compulsion, such as the need to doing something repetitively or in the exact same way every single time. It is diagnosed by the effect it has on a person’s day to day life, relationships and mental health.

There are many misconceptions and much stigma relating to OCD and employees who experience OCD may face significant challenges in the workplace. There are many accommodations we can make to support colleagues with OCD.
