Disability is the great equaliser, it can happen to anyone, at any time. It is one of the few minority groups that any one of us could suddenly become a part of. Disability doesn’t need to equate to a longer term sense of loss though, and resilience coaching can play a part in helping a person with disability to reach a place of acceptance, pride, and even celebration of their disabled identity.
Advancing the wellbeing of employees in 2023 is going to need more than ‘tick the box’ services or a lunchtime yoga session. With new legislation currently rolling out at a state level and new legal precedence being set in the high court this year, organisations are being called on to do more to protect their people’s mental health and wellbeing.
Experiencing a mental health setback in the workplace can be challenging to navigate. Research shows that those people who go a long time between developing poor mental health and receiving appropriate treatment and support have reduced recovery and return to work outcomes compared to those who access early intervention support. When left untreated, these mental health challenges can lead to other mental health illnesses, impair recovery outcomes and reduce an employee’s capacity to remain in the workplace.
The Resilient Me 1:1 coaching program is one tool in Resilia’s best-practice model that supports employees experiencing a mental health set back or recovering from psychological injury. This program uses a person-centred, strengths-based approach to create a safe space for those recovering from psychological injury to cultivate resilience and prevent relapse.
Workplaces can be unpredictable, challenging and stressful environments. They can truly test an individual’s mental health. But there are ways to strengthen and enhance how people ride out these waves of difficulty. The answer is resilience-building interventions, which over the last several years have become integral to every stage of an organisation’s well-being journey.
The idea of resilience has taken on greater significance in recent times. Over the last two years, organisations have had to adapt rapidly to a host of challenges and continue to grapple with how they can remain profitable and resilient through current and future risks.
Our most recent case study comes from Resilia rehabilitation consultant, John Harpham, who has demonstrated his utmost hard work and dedication to support his client with a proactive return to work strategy, that has led him to successfully supporting his client back to work.
Have you ever encountered a tense situation at work? Maybe you were caught up in a disagreement with a colleague? Or maybe you were upset about what someone said to you? Interpersonal conflict is inevitable in the workplace. It occurs when two or more people have a disagreement or dispute. However, if not managed correctly, these disagreements can exacerbate into a much bigger problems, causing emotional stress, diminished working relationships, and negatively impact the wellbeing of those involved.
