Podcast: Adding the human factor to mental health strategies
How are organisations making advancements in their approaches to the mental health of their employees and in the workplace?
Discover how we're helping to smash the stigma against Mental
Health and help employees thrive and perform at their best through
our new digital workplace mental health training course.
Mercer Marsh Benefits (MMB), in collaboration with Make A Difference (MAD), has designed a new digital workplace mental health training course to help employees thrive and perform at their best. By helping us all stay at the healthy end of the mental health continuum, we can build stronger, more resilient workplaces.
For many employees, mental health has come under enormous, prolonged strain, and providing support in this area remains a critical priority for employers. The challenge is how to provide mental health support that effectively reaches, engages and benefits every employee.
Make A Difference is a global learning space for professionals looking to adopt and embed inclusive, preventative strategies that will have a sustainable impact on workplace culture, mental, physical, financial and social wellbeing, as well as workplace design. They have a mission to accelerate the shift from stigma to solutions by ensuring every employer - whatever their size - has access to the insight, inspiration and contacts they need to make a real difference.

This year, Mental Health Awareness Week is highlighting the impact of Loneliness on mental health and wellbeing. We’re taking this opportunity to share exclusive daily insights on how organisations can support the mental health and wellbeing of their employees.
We want to smash the stigma around anxiety, depression, stress and other common conditions. Our ambition is to make it easier for employees worldwide to care for their mental wellbeing, and their colleagues’ too.
So, in collaboration with MAD and with the brilliant input of familiar faces from athletes to supermodels, we have created a four-part digital learning programme that looks at key aspects of mental wellbeing.
The highly engaging e-learning programme highlights the key symptoms of common mental health conditions and how to spot early warning signs in yourself and others. Packed with practical tips, reflective questions and calls to action, this programme helps employees build personal resilience and to learn how to bounce back - or even forwards - from challenges and setbacks.
Resilience considers what mental health looks like and how we can become better able to deal with stress and other challenges.
Self-care deals with the importance of a healthy body and lifestyle in maintaining a healthy mind.
Empathy focuses on recognising the warning signs when someone is struggling and on being a better listener.
Engagement addresses how best to build a more supportive, caring environment at work for all employees.
