Together Wellbeing Initiative : A Framework For Your Business
BY MARY DEVINE
Congratulations Ray White Castle Hill on their recent award . We ’ re proud to see the important work they ’ re doing to support their members ' wellbeing .
Through our own wellbeing experience , we recognise the significant impact it can have on team engagement and overall organisational success . By fostering a healthy work environment , you can build greater resilience , increase productivity and promote a positive culture that truly enhances people ' s lives .
Over the last two years , Samantha White has worked tirelessly alongside many passionate corporate team members ( our Wellbeing Champions ) to deploy our corporate wellbeing initiative : Together .
An important first step was to relaunch an Employee Assistance Program ( EAP ) and conduct Mental Health First Aid training , both of which are fundamental to a good workplace wellbeing initiative .
We ’ re proud to say that we ’ ve seen an incredible shift in the way our team members across Australia and New Zealand interact with , and support , each other . We ’ re more connected , community focused , engaged and empathetic . Together has brought us closer together .
The next exciting step is to share our knowledge and recommendations with you . Through partnering with industry leaders such a Black Dog Institute , PeopleSense , Mental Health First Aid Australia and many more , we have developed an evidence-based framework ; The Together Wellbeing Playbook . The playbook details our strategy as well as shares easy-tofollow processes based on our own key learnings .
We ’ re eager to share the playbook and plenty of resources with you over the coming months .
However , if you have any questions or recognise that members in your team need mental health support now , then please get in touch .
