In this episode of Bailiwick Podcasts, Jodie Yettram spoke with mental health consultant Jennifer Neill about her new business that aims to support wellbeing in the workplace. 

The conversation took place during Mental Health Awareness Week and focused on the impact of mental health on both employees and businesses — including high turnover and reduced productivity. 

Jennifer spoke about the importance of employers recognising and supporting their employees' mental health needs, the impact of cost of living on mental health, and the unique challenges faced by younger workers starting their careers in a remote environment. 

She called for organisations to implement proactive strategies and flexible approaches to address these issues and create a supportive work culture from the top-down.

In just weeks he has gone from a hospital bed to walking 10 miles a day helped by a focus on what he can do, not what he can’t.
