What is Awareness?
Wellness starts with awareness. The better you can understand and identify stress and related triggers, the sooner you can work through them. Awareness extends to staff knowing of available resources.
81% of organisational leaders indicate their workplace has one or more policies, procedures or practices to support mental health, but many employees (35%) don’t know these resources exist or don’t have access to them.
What can we do today?
Create visible awareness through posters in the office (e.g. EAP program, R U OK?)
Include information about wellbeing practices and policies in your induction program
Run a morning tea around well being awareness
