The Thrive in Business psychological foundations programme can get everyone working on an even keel, resolving existing issues, and future-proofing against further discordancy.

Thrive in Business creates, develops and clarifies the way your team cognitively processes its working practices for a totally harmonious approach – bringing out the very best individual traits for peak performance in everyone.

A Thriving workforce ….

• Better understands stress and anxiety and does not allow itself to succumb to them so deeply.
• Is more than resilient… does not worry about bouncing back as it does not allow itself to be knocked down in the first place.
• Makes healthy, empowering choices for itself, and for the future of the company.
• Takes responsibility, takes a wider perspective on events, has strong, empowering, constructive beliefs.
• Can always find a solution – dead ends no longer exist.
• Feels powerful in the face of adversity.
• Works together more harmoniously, using a common language which encourages a thriving and empowering mentality.
• Is mentally strong with deep seated psychological foundations.
• Increases its own productivity through more active and long-term engagement, coping with the downs with positivity and energy as well as capitalising on the ups!

While Health & Safety in the workplace has been a hot topic for some decades now, and has contributed significantly to a definite reduction in rates of accidents and fatalities, the same focus has not been directed on mental health at work.

For example, in the UK construction industry the average number of construction worker fatalities over the past five years has reduced to 39 per year. However, what is perhaps not quite so widely reported is the average number of suicides of construction workers over the past five years – 283 per year! (1419 suicides reported between 2011-2015. Source ONS).

Use of anti-depressants is rising drastically, with the UK quoted as being one of the largest consumers of anti-depressants in Western Europe – as many as one in 10 or 11 of UK adults take the pill at some stage in their life.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that mental health issues are not being effectively dealt with in the workplace. A recent survey of 20,000 employees (Mental Health at Work Report 2016) highlighted some serious gaps in companies’ abilities to deal with mental health issues among their employees.

• 77% of employees have experienced symptoms of poor mental health at some point in their lives.
• 29% of employees have been diagnosed with a mental health condition.

Thrive in Business will assess your companies approach for destigmatising mental health, and then puts in place a structured programme which will underpin the psychological foundations of your workforce. Such emphasis should be given equal, if not prioritised, prominence in your plans for workplace wellness.
