Women’s Empowerment Principles’ Post

Watch out for employee health, well-being and safety. According to the World Health Organization, poor working environments—like discrimination, inequality, excessive workloads, low job control, and job insecurity—pose a significant risk to mental health. Companies play a crucial role in safe-guarding the mental well-being of employees.

Living with a chronic illness while continuing to work can present significant challenges, balancing health needs with professional responsibilities. Individuals often navigate fluctuating symptoms, medical appointments, and potential physical limitations, all while striving to maintain their productivity and meet job expectations. Supportive workplace policies, such as flexible working hours and reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010, aim to assist these individuals. Despite the hurdles, many find resilience and purpose in their careers, contributing valuably to their professions. Does your organisation understand your Chronic illness? do you feel supported? #HR #chronicillness #policy #disability #support

In our latest research #UnpackingTheNewWorkforce, we’ve delved into workplace mental health and wellbeing from diverse angles, including gender, generation, cultural background and experiences of disability or neurodiversity. The research has revealed crucial insights, showing that although Australian businesses are planning to make substantial investments in diversity and inclusion practices and mental health support over the next 12 months, right now more can be done to meet the individual needs and experiences of diverse employees. Hear from Julie Mitchell and Richard Feledy, as they discuss the research findings and their implications for leaders in fostering psychologically safe workplaces.

Today is My Whole Self Day, encouraging workplaces to celebrate and embrace our diverse identities and experiences. Mental Health First Aid England want organisations to empower employees to bring their whole self to work. That includes background, sexuality, religion, gender, health, and mental health. In 2024, we should feel safe to bring our whole selves to work, without fear of judgement or consequence. Our people and teams are at their most effective and creative when everybody feels psychologically safe and is seen, heard, and valued. When we feel like we belong, we build community and unlock creativity, productivity and innovation. By bringing together diversity and inclusion with health and wellbeing, we can drive positive transformation in workplace mental health and performance. Below is a bit about my whole self that you may or may not already know. I am grateful to work within a team that allows me to bring my whole self to work. Along with MHFA, I am dedicated to creating a positive workplace culture where everyone feels they belong and can be themselves, without fear of judgement or discrimination. #mywholeselfday2024 #mhfa #mentalhealthfirstaid #celebratediversity

#InclusionByDesign is key to belonging for neurodivergent people and All People! Had the pleasure of speaking at the British Safety Council and Being Well Together Wellbeing conference yesterday. Joined by the amazing Khushboo Patel, Richard Talbot hosted by Jigna Patel. We discussed the social model of disability and how workplaces can be more welcoming for neurodiverse individuals. Did you know that 1 in 16 neurodivergent adults are not in full-time work despite the incredibly valuable traits this group often has. Some key takeaways from the session include: ✅ Every neurodiverse individual presents differently. ✅ Listening and empathy are key to supporting neurodiverse people. ✅ Neurodiverse support in the workplace must be done on a individual case by case basis. ✅ Remember to support the symptoms, not the condition. Let's work together to make our workplaces more inclusive for everyone. #Neurodiversity #InclsuionMatters #WorkplaceWellbeing #SaferTogether #Belonging
