Modules we offer
Mental Health Masterclass
We look at how we can create a kinder culture of trust where managers feel confident to ask employees about their wellbeing knowing how this dramatically improves employee energy, productivity, engagement and results.
Managing Mental Health in these Challenging Times
Our mental health has never been so challenged on mass as we struggle to cope with this crisis. In this webinar we look at the best ways of keeping our staff engaged with emphasis on how to stay emotionally connected with our remote workers as we ease them out of lockdown and furlough scenarios.
Building Personal Resilience to cope with the demands of the modern workplace
The key theme of this workshop looks at how we can help employees build their own personal resilience to cope with the modern day demands of the workplace.

Breaking the Silence
Research shows that mental health problems in the workplace cost UK employers £26 billion per year, averaging £1,035 per employee. Whilst mental health & support are now being recognised by such great organisations as The Royal Foundation, we find that mental health in the workplace is something that still needs bringing to the forefront of people’s minds. David Beeney suffered for over thirty years, not wanting to tell his colleagues or employer that he was battling mental health problems; believing that it would damage his career, he was embarrassed and scared of the potential consequences. David is now using his experience, commercial background and business knowledge to help organisations implement mental health & wellbeing strategies within the workplace.
