It is essential that your leaders have the knowledge and skills to be able to meet their obligations in this area.
Mental health issues have significant impacts in the workplace through employee workdays lost and reduced productivity. The estimated economic loss is up to $39 billion1. With 1 in 5 people experiencing mental illness each year2, what is this costing your business? To minimise these impacts and to meet your legal obligations around psychosocial safety, it is essential leaders develop the skills to support their employees’ mental health while balancing the needs of the business. By focussing on these key areas, your organisation will benefit with a more engaged workforce, improved employee retention and productivity in an environment where both your people and business can thrive. 1 Based on Productivity Commission data, Mental Health, Inquiry Report, No. 95.

As a society, we should aim to include all people in our workplaces. Including a diverse range of people in your workplace allows for more creative and innovative output and better retention of staff, amongst other benefits. Unfortunately, there is still so much exclusion in our society, in our workplaces and in our services.
Through undertaking this course, you will discover some of the barriers to equity, diversity and inclusion and what you can do to overcome these barriers. On completion you will be able to identify your own personal barriers and biases and identify some steps you can take to create an inclusive workplace through your own words and behaviours. We encourage you to work together to create a workplace culture which appreciates differences and creates safe spaces where everyone can be their full selves at work and therefore be comfortable contributing and encouraging diverse ideas, fostering innovation and enabling us each to flourish.

Overwhelmingly, the feedback we receive from our eLearning courses is that they provide an interesting and engaging way of learning. Through the assessments, participants learn how to immediately apply the content into their work roles.
We understand it can be challenging to coordinate busy leaders to attend a full day of face to face training. However, given the obligations organisations have around creating psychosocial safety in the workplace, this training is essential for leaders to access. Our eLearning courses have been designed to be flexible to help you overcome the barriers of face to face training and enhance learning outcomes.
The feedback we get from eLearning course participants is that the flexibility of completing the course in their own time is a key benefit, and that the application of the learning through the assessments helps them to contextualise the content for their role and to identify how they can implement the learnings straight away.
Our Workplace Mental Health eLearning courses are:
Flexible
We enable your leaders to progress in their own time at their own pace. eLearning courses include bonus modules and content (not included in our current 1-day in-person course), so through our eLearning courses you can access more content, with less time commitment.
Practical
The courses include demonstration videos to help participants identify how they can put the skills learnt into practice. Our eLearning courses are available to participants for 12 months after purchase to enable them to come back and review the content and resources as issues arise.
Customisable
Some of our eLearning courses include qualitative assessments, where the participant is prompted to apply the knowledge and skills learnt into their own work/life context.
If included, we mark assessments and provide feedback on any errors or gaps, offering additional resources and reminders if needed. Once your group has completed the eLearning course, we offer a 1-hour group video conferencing session with our Director Tasha Broomhall.
Tasha customises this session based on the assessments your participants have submitted and contextualises what they have learnt in the course for their roles, filling potential gaps in their knowledge and answering any questions about how to apply their knowledge.
I was sceptical undertaking a mental health course online but was actually surprised about how valuable this was. There were some great approaches to conversations and case examples.
