Why is this important?

Good mental health and wellbeing enables us to better connect, function, cope and thrive. Compassionate leadership and psychological safety are essential for improving mental wellbeing in the workplace.

This is never more important than in the realms of modern working environments as an essential element that significantly influences both productivity and employee satisfaction.

We spend a third of our life at work. It forms a key part of our weekly lives and self-identity, and it's often where we build multiple and complex relationships, with many demands on our time, attention and expertise.

As leaders, it's imperative to foster an atmosphere of psychological safety with compassionate leadership - a setting where team members feel valued, supported, and secure enough to voice their opinions and concerns without fear of reprisal. This nurturing and courageous approach not only benefits individuals on a personal level but also cultivates a culture of trust and cooperation that drives organisational success.

Why workplace mental health is important

Successful businesses understand the importance of proactively creating informed, safe, open and engaging workplace cultures to help promote happy, stable, fulfilling work lives for their employees.

Those that do it well are making it central to their values and objectives.
