Psychological Wellbeing at work:
COVID-19 has presented many positive challenges for employers and people managers. One challenge being the need to safeguard your most important asset - your people.
This pandemic changed life for everyone and strongly impacted on our psychological well-being. Many are feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious or burnt out and over time have developed unhealthy behaviours such as increased alcohol consumption, excessive eating or lashing out at family, friends or work colleagues to numb these feelings.
Gallup's 2023 State of the Global Workplace report highlights that the most frequently expereinced emotions are Stress and Anger.
The cost of poor well-being to employers:
Absence
Accidents and injuries
Lack of job commitment
Burnout
Workplace conflict
Decreased productivity and quality.

ACT and Psychological Flexibility: what is it?
Your people are your most important asset.
The ACT Matrix, created by Dr Kevin Polk, Clinical Psychologist, is an evidence-based approach for improving an individual’s psychological flexibility, that is, an individual’s ability to behave in a way that brings satisfaction, even when uncomfortable thoughts are showing up.
Research shows that psychological flexibility is the single most important skill for mental health and emotional well-being.
By supporting your managers, team leaders and employees in this way, you can help them live a rich, full and meaningful life (through all the ups and downs like a pandemic), making them happier, healthier, more stable and more engaged at work.
