The agenda already appealed to me but the reality of the day was even better! Super impressed with how the speakers also offered further assistance outside the day , which means learning about mental health is more than just a one day training session

Overview
Around 1 in 4 of us will experience ill mental health at some point in our lives.
Furthermore, the cost to companies of mental health absence is huge – with nearly 37% of businesses seeing an increase over the last year according to a new report from the CIPD. Not only is this a big cost, but it’s also preventable.
Actively promoting the well-being of your staff and supporting those who are experiencing mental health challenges is therefore essential!
Designing and implementing a framework that addresses employee mental health and wider well-being can increase engagement, productivity and support business growth – as well as help you to attract and retain the best talent.
We understand however there are many practical challenges and obstacles to overcome in order to achieve and sustain healthy workplaces. Let us help you tackle them! The Managing Mental Health in the Workplace Conference will offer you practical advice, the latest best practice and implementable actions to help you develop your mental health strategy.
