Future of Work Series

At the core, we’re all different.

A multitude of factors can impact both physical, mental wellbeing and cognitive performance. Few companies recognise this, which is why the now often applied ‘’one-size-fits-all’’ solutions to wellbeing, performance and behavioural change do not work and over 70% of wellbeing initiatives remain unused. Scientific principles can inform and guide us, but what we focus on needs to be individual and specific.

A balanced combination of factors will have the greatest impact.

Neuroscience has illustrated that several work and lifestyle factors can impact wellbeing and performance positively, or negatively. Our goal is to allow companies and individuals to explore what makes them thrive – physically, mentally and cognitively. Our corporate wellbeing methodology covers three areas and recognises a shared responsibility between employers and employees in taking action.

Mental Health Workshop for Companies

Workshop designed to kick-start conversation on the importance of mental health

New pressures presented by the pandemic have been layered on top of everyday workplace stressors. More people are battling increased levels of stress, anxiety and depression than ever before, negatively impacting Mental Health levels of workforces across the Middle East. Employers are starting to recognise the negative consequence of an unwell workforce, realizing that this is an issue that must be taken seriously, but that can be difficult to address.

One-hour (online) workshop, mental health data and report

This one-hour workshop is designed to kick start a conversation around the importance of taking mental health seriously, and to instill a sense of shared awareness, understanding and responsibility. After the workshop, employers will also receive a summary report highlighting mental health status, drivers for stress and ill-health as well as individual, team and organisational actions suggested by the participants, allowing leaders to reflect on the results and decide on necessary actions.

Who should attend?

The workshop is for leaders and employees at all levels within an organisation.

A highly interactive one-hour workshop, which blends information, statistics and neuroscience with polls, reflection time and discussion between participants.

The workshop is structured into three main sections:

• 1Statistics, insights & science around mental health
• 2Self & group reflection
• 3Practical steps forward for better mental health
