, p 'R you OK?' has challenged and started to change how we think about, work with and accept mental health in our personal lives and in the workplace. There are a plethora of organisations and individuals that offer companies programs and opportunities to improve workplace wellbeing, support mental health at work, improve efficiency and production. Often they use pre-established, short-run platforms and programs that can fail to capture the true issues that have created the problems in the first place, or fully acknowledge the individual factors that can effect success rates.
Workshops that are run for short periods of time can only begin to introduce the concept of mental health in the workplace and in an individual's life. Mental health is complex because human beings are complex, and our lives have become increasingly more complex with the demands placed on us by society, and the ever expanding technology that surrounds and influences us. Providing fact sheets, wellbeing videos and online tutorials is only part of the work that needs to be undertaken. And frankly a one off workshop is not going to make any meaningful difference! Humans respond to consistency and connection. Intermittent reinforcement is considered the most powerful programming mechanism psychologically speaking. Therefore a comprehensive wellbeing program that provides an opportunity for connection and consistency, and frequently introduces and reinforces concepts around adaptive mental wellbeing has the greatest chance to create meaningful and lasting change. This could, for example, include supporting and facilitating access to regular professional supervision, quarterly wellbeing workshops and annual 1 or 2 day retreats. Amberley can work with you to devise a program that suits yours and your employee’s needs. If you are serious about caring for the mental wellbeing of your employees you need to take a serious, not a tokenistic approach. And from this you will reap the rewards of a balanced and healthy employee. Amberley works with people and has done so continuously for over 20 years. One thing all companies have in common is that their greatest asset is their staff. Just as individuals differ so do the needs of each company. But whilst the company and individuals may differ, the costs do not. Presenteeism, absenteeism, replacement recruitments costs, these are all affecting businesses everyday, costing thousands of dollars. Amberley can offer you an initial consultation and meet with you to hear what are your needs are, help you ascertain where and why those needs might not be being met, and present you with viable solutions to help your staff stay sustainably healthy from the inside, out. |

Why workplace wellness matters
In the business and working world mental agility and resilience are key factors in helping us navigate the difficult situations that rise from time to time. These are not necessarily skills we naturally possess, and certainly without continual use we can lose them or have them become dulled.
Our workshops are so successful because they use evidence-based practices to introduce, enhance and refine mental and emotional capacity. If you cannot keep calm, hold yourself in a steady space, and be comfortable with the uncomfortable, then you are likely to go to move into overwhelm at some point and then into the fight or flight mode.
By practicing techniques such as mindfulness, yoga and meditation you are forcing yourself, in a safe and known environment, to develop your ability to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Your mind makes a map of this and then uses it as a template. Thus when faced with other uncomfortable and demanding situations at work your mind will automatically know what to do without you needing to exert any extra effort.
When you harness adaptive mental and emotional strength you are far likelier to make good choices, avoid costly mistakes, and not take your stress out inappropriately on others that could then be perceived as being bullying or even intimidation.
Amberley has an a myriad of tools and a vast pool of knowledge that will help you achieve the perfect balance in your workplace. Humans are any company's greatest resource and investing in their wellbeing will always pay out dividends in terms of your employees' ability to remain focussed, safe and dedicated to your needs.
Tapping into the wealth of knowledge that our retreats and workshops offer will provide you and your team with multiple benefits including:

Team Building - Positive Culture Workshops
|
Most people have realised by now that a happy workplace is a productive and successful workplace. However, achieving this is not always that simple.
With the extensive and ever increasing pressures that are placed on people, not just within the workplace, but also in their private lives problems are inevitable. When problems occur against a backdrop of limited coping skills or a lack of strong support, then sadly difficult and challenging workplace environments are consequently created. Our team building workshops are not just about uniting teams in a common cause, they also provide people with the skills to reach others when life has become too much or too hard. By working with you either here on the Sunshine Coast, or by coming into your work environment we can create the right approach to enhance learning and generate a sense of support. We will organise nutritious food as part of the process as we know how vital good food is to energise, nurture and support any learning process. Food has a way of bringing people together and we pride ourselves on providing not only quality snacks and meals, but also on giving valid information on how people can use food to transform their health and well being in simple and achievable ways. |
