The Wellness Wire

The World Health Organisation has laid out its '2020-2030 Mental Health Action Plan' sharing their vision of how they want to transform the global mental health landscape, as they believe it's in desperate need of an overhaul

In their guidance document they highlight examples of utilising those with lived experience, some of which I highlight in this podcast

The focus of this episode is the W.H.O's belief of the importance of having those with lived experience play key roles in mental health support

In this episode we're exploring the subject of 'Social Prescribing', and how it can help those who are struggling with their mental wellbeing?  Is it a vital resource for people managers and mental health first aiders to be aware of during their conversations with struggling team members and colleagues?

To discuss this subject, I'm joined by Kim Brindley, a Social Prescribing Link Worker (SPLW) from Northamptonshire, the region where Social Prescribing was initially launched in 2019

Kim has been a Social Prescriber since 2020, and has worked with countless individuals to help them manage their wellbeing.  Kim's past experience includes being an NHS HealthCare Assistant, and NHS Smoking Cessation Practitioner

On this episode of the HeadStrong Talkshow we’re discussing the question of whether managers should be focusing on asking or telling for a healthy return to the workplace?

To explore this subject, I’m joined by  Maureen Tallis who’ll be sharing her insights around the question

 Maureen is an experienced HR professional and Executive Coach with specialist skills in talent management, leadership development, culture change and all things people focused

 Her HR career spans more than 25 years, and her latest role was “Head of Talent and Resourcing” at Baxi Heating UK Limited where she worked with the Executive Team and people managers to build a learning and development culture, establish robust succession planning, introduced Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and set up the Baxi Heating Charitable Trust, as well as promoting every project to further strengthen employee engagement

 Maureen is single minded about creating great places to work and environments where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves, there is open two-way feedback, and each colleague is encouraged to develop to levels they once thought impossible!

We're discussing the pros and cons of asking vs telling, and which approach is likely to yield the most positive wellbeing results during the transition back into the workplace, plus a whole load more...

In this episode of the HeadStrong Talkshow, I'm joined by Andy Goram from Biz Juicer, a strategic employee engagement consultancy, to discuss how managers can keep their team members engaged whilst working form home
 
 It's easy for individuals to feel disconnected from their work and employer in the current situation, so what are the keys to maintaining a level of engagement that breeds loyalty and job satisfaction?
 
 Andy's here to tell us how...
 
 After a successful corporate career over 26 years, Andy set up Bizjuicer, with a focus on helping create more successful, purposeful, values-driven businesses from the inside out, aligning Purpose, Proposition, and the People inside businesses to generate sustainable profits.  Or as Andy calls them, stickier businesses

 He’s on a mission to turn the lights on behind the eyes of your employees, help light the fires within them and get more out of the relationship between businesses, their brands, and their people.

 He’s also the host of the Sticky From The Inside podcast, which dives into all that sort of stuff from the different perspectives of the guests he chats with.
