Supporting Mental Well-being at the workplace
1. Response of leaders to psychosocial issues
It’s important for leaders to respond quickly and adequately to issues affecting mental well-being. As an employee, you can:
- Open communication: Be open about your challenges and needs related to mental well-being.
- Seek support: Do not hesitate to ask for help in addressing psychosocial problems.
2. Mental refreshment after the workday
Ending with a sense of mental freshness is essential. To achieve this:
- Set boundaries: Ensure work and private life remain separate to prevent mental exhaustion.
- Relaxation techniques: Use techniques such as meditation or breathing exercises to unwind after work. Don’t forget to fill your Bevoy circle 🙂
3. Staying relaxed under work pressure
High work pressure can be stressful. To stay relaxed:
- Stress management: Learn techniques to effectively manage stress.
- Take breaks: Regular breaks help to relieve mental pressure.
4. Discussing mental health at work
It’s important that mental health is a discussable topic at the workplace. Try:
- Create an open culture: Encourage a culture where discussing mental health is normal.
- Use available resources: Take advantage of any discussion groups or support services the organization offers.
5. Resources for managing mental health
An organization should provide sufficient resources for managing mental health. Consider:
- Evaluate available resources: Are you aware of the resources the organization offers for mental well-being? Through the Bevoy app, you can always contact your well-being representative.
- Give feedback: Share your opinion on how the organization can improve its support in the area of mental health.
Conclusion
Supporting mental well-being at the workplace is a joint effort of both the employees and the organization.
