How do we open up the conversation about mental health at work? How do we make sure we stay mentally healthy? How do we know when our colleagues are unwell? And how do we support them once we do know?

Let me introduce a great tool that ANYONE in the workplace can use to get the conversation going: the Wellness Action Plan. 

What is a Wellness Action Plan?

A Wellness Action Plan (WAP) is a personalised, practical tool to help employees share with their employer what keeps them well at work, when and why they might become unwell and what support they would like to receive.

Implementing a WAP can be a good way to start regular conversations about mental health and wellbeing within your team and can be used by everyone to boost their well-being, whether they have a mental health concern or not.

Advantages of implementing the WAP

For managers:

It can help them:

• Open up the conversation about mental health
• Better understand their team's needs and experiences
• Better support individual and team well-being
• Increase productivity, performance and job satisfaction in their team
• Identify useful support and/or reasonable adjustments for employees returning to work after absence
• Show new employees that they are committed to their wellbeing

For employees:

It can help them:

• Take ownership of the actions and support they need to either stay well or manage a mental health concern
• Think about and share what makes them unwell at work
• Review their experience regularly and make sure the support they receive is the best for them right now
• Feel empowered and in control
