2. CONSULTANCY
Organisational health & safety responsibilities and reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act - are now common place language amongst Human Resource and Occupational Health Departments. It can be a mine field and no two episodes are the same. We are here to help and guide you.
Some of the common questions we are frequently asked are:
-
How do we support an employee during a mental health related absense?
-
How long can we expect a period of recovery?
-
Will medication or talking therapy impact their work performance?
-
What adjustements can we make? Does this come under The Equality Act?
With the speed and growth of mental health related problems in today’s work force, more businesses and organisations refer to our team for a personable, confidential and reliable solution to provide a smooth and safe transition back to work.
Stress is a health and safety concern and it has a close relationship with mental health conditions and relapse.
Our consultancy service gives you the time, space and knowledge needed to support managers and employees safely back to work during and after an episode of mental illness. Studies abound are discovering that positively supporting a person back to work following a mental health episode builds trust, loyalty and encourages improved performance, while crucially avoiding similar or equally as prolonged episodes again in the future.
We will also take a closer look at how to manage existing mental health problems that require deeper understanding and insight and how to best approach and support people who are at risk of relapse.
With an understanding of what can causes an episode of mental ill health, we will explore and delve deeper into examining proven strategies to promote wellness using a repertoire of physical, practical and psychological techniques.
