Work affects both our physical and mental well-being—in good ways and bad. These impacts can be felt even more intensely by workers in helping professions—particularly those who are regularly exposed to the effects of secondary trauma. In this webinar, the OTIP and the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General will explore how we can together reimagine workplaces that are engines of well-being. We’ll discuss practical strategies to implement the five essentials of workplace mental health and well-being outlined in the Surgeon General’s Framework for Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being. We will also hear from organizations working to address human trafficking and other forms of violence that have implemented well-being programs for their staff.

Translation 🧠 At OIS, we prioritise the mental well-being of all team members, both within and beyond the workplace. Some of the initiatives we've implemented to ensure this are: 📱 Affording all employees access to a confidential support line through the OIS employee assistance programme. 🎓 Equipping managers with training to determine the roots of stress and identify early indicators. 🪴 Cultivating an office environment with a biophilic design to enhance overall well-being while reducing stress and anxiety levels. We're eager to hear about the initiatives you've put in place within your organisation. Please feel free to share them in the comments. #OncologyImagingSystems #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealth #TeamOIS #EmployeeWellbeing

Let's put our people first, prioritizing these tough conversations is preventative!

Let's talk openly about mental health, display posters to spread awareness, and proudly wear a CIASP hard hat sticker as a pledge. Interested in any of these preventative resources?

When employers only focus on employee mental health when they are ill, they are merely slapping a bandaid on a wound. Preventative care with evidence-based and ongoing well-being initiatives, open dialogue about employee mental health and modeling the use of these programs from the top down is necessary. How is your company caring for your well-being?

Worrying statistics from GoodShape and reported by IOSH when you consider the correlation between mental ill-health and employees ultimately deciding that leaving their job is the only option left. As employers, we not only have a responsibility to support our teams but have a role to play in encouraging transparency and creating work environments where we can talk about #mentalhealth in an open and positive way. https://lnkd.in/eFtDfpkj
