With World Mental Health & Wellbeing day passing us by on the 10th, we can't think of a better time to talk about such an important topic.
Whether your the boss of your own company, an employee of one or a friend seeking to help someone who needs it, being aware of mental health and wellbeing has a big positive impact, not just for others but for you too.
Small ways to support your team every day
Supporting wellbeing doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. Simple actions can create a big impact:
- Check in regularly: Genuine conversations about how people are feeling build trust and show you care.
- Encourage breaks and downtime: Remind your team that taking time to recharge isn’t slacking — it’s essential.
- Set realistic expectations: Manage workloads to prevent overwhelm and make deadlines achievable.
- Promote flexibility: Whether it’s flexible hours or remote work options, flexibility helps people balance life and work better.
- Create an open culture: Normalise talking about mental health and offer resources or support where possible.
Caring for others means caring for yourself
Supporting mental health is a two-way street. When you foster a culture of care, it lifts everyone up, including you. Being mindful of your own wellbeing helps you lead with empathy, make better decisions, and stay resilient through challenges. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help and take time for self-care.
