Consultation and Advice
Unsure what you need? Or what the team think? This is a great way to get an overview of where you are at as a team and advice on how to work towards being a mentally safe workspace.
Hearing from your staff is a fundamental foundation step in creating psychologically safe workspaces. We start by sending an anonymous survey to all your staff. We provide a thorough analysis and feedback report on how staff feel, where the strengths of the current processes lie, where changes could be made & suggestions around training packages.
This can help inform next steps for companies working towards becoming accredited safe mental health workplace.
