Providing our people with tools & knowledge to help manage mental health
Mental Health Awareness Week, which takes place from May 8th to 14th, is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of mental health and wellbeing in our workplace. So here at BerryWorld we're using Mental Health Awareness Week shine a light on three focus areas by signposting and highlighting some tools and knowledge to help them manage their mental health and wellbeing.
Mental Health Daily Practices
We're immensely proud to have partnered with the wellbeing toolkit provider, Headspace, so all our employees will receive access to the Headspace App. The app is a wellbeing platform that offers meditations, exercises, and sleep tools. These tools can be used to help improve focus, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve sleep quality. By offering access to Headspace, we aim to encourage our employees to integrate mindfulness practices into their daily routines and prioritise their mental health.
Mental Health in Society
We're also sharing vital information from the mental health charity Mind on the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on mental health. The aim of this session is to raise awareness of the link between financial stress and mental health and encourage staff to seek support when they need it.
Mental Health & Mindfulness
Building on the the benefits of mindfulness and relaxation, we're offering our people the chance to experience a choice of wellbeing practices. These sessions will provide staff with an opportunity to experience the benefits of mindfulness and relaxation techniques, practices like these can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, and enhance overall wellbeing.
We believe that by prioritising mental health in the workplace by creating a supportive and healthy work environment for all.
