How to improve mental health and happiness at work

Approximately one in four people in the UK will have a mental health issue each year. These statistics alone should serve as a reminder of why it is so vital to take care of yourself and check up on those around you – we all need help now and again!

Last year, the government published a Thriving at Work study, which found that many workers with mental health issues experience stigma at work. This research was intended to ensure that employees receive the assistance they require in their communities and continue to succeed.

Employees who are satisfied in their jobs outperform the competition by 20% and salespeople that are happy close 37% more deals, giving you a significant advantage.

Here are a few things that Bulldog Digital Media does to keep its spirits high. This will be an excellent starting point if you want to enhance mental health at your workplace.

Introduce team days out

It’s normal for anyone to experience stress at work. While it’s sometimes unavoidable, knowing when to take a break is essential so that you can appreciate all of your hard work! To guarantee that you are connecting over non-work topics, organise regular team outings. These events are always enjoyable and go on for hours as a result of the laughter.

Introduce bring your dog to work day

Dogs have shown to have a favourable influence on those who suffer from anxiety, sadness, and/or tension. You should think about bringing these dogs to your job! Dogs are much more than adorable fluffy animals; you should consider adopting one!

Employees listen to each other

Feeling valued at work is critical. If you have the opportunity to develop and learn new skills while doing something you love, you’ll be in a beneficial atmosphere — an atmosphere that you really want to be in 5 days per week! At the end of the day, if your team isn’t happy, your business will not run effectively. Teams should therefore be a top priority when it comes to investing in them.

Employee skill training

Your team should be inspired to achieve greater heights through training courses, conversations with more experienced teammates, seminars, and anything else. Not only that, but our apprenticeship program gives prospective employees with little expertise a chance. Tiring job hunting may have a significant influence on your mental health, and apprenticeship programs do indeed relieve a great deal of stress.

Other factors might also play a role in mental health issues, but one person at a time, we can all make an important impact. Have a nice day and take care of yourself!
