Mednet Mental Health Strategy 2023

April 13, 2023 | Mental Health Strategy, Mindful Employer, mental health 

We’ve launched our mental health strategy for the year to support our colleagues in maintaining positive mental health.

We’re committed to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of all our employees. Our mental health strategy this year is focussing on three, simple steps:

  • Act – Do something individually, to keep mentally, socially, spiritually, and physically active.
  • Belong – Do something with someone. Develop a strong sense of identity and belonging by keeping up family relationships and friendships, joining groups, participating in community activities and inviting others to do so.
  • Commit – Do something meaningful such as things that provide meaning and purpose in life, such as taking up challenges, supporting causes and helping others.

It’s a super easy, super simple strategy that focuses on the small everyday things we can all do to improve our mental wellbeing.

To start our strategy, we asked everyone in our team to pledge to do something as part of phase one – Act.

This could be anything they liked. It simply needed to be a pledge to put some time in to something they enjoyed or wanted to start doing to keep themselves active and improve their mental wellbeing. It could also be something they wanted to pick up, or something they already do and want to do more of.

Some of the pledges made included:

  • Learning how to grow fruit and vegetables
  • Doing yoga once or twice a week
  • Training for a 10k run
  • Sticking to an exercise routine
  • Training for an aerial performance competition.

Our mental health strategy isn’t the only thing we’re doing to support our employees wellbeing. From the start of the year, every member of our team was given a wellbeing action plan. This has ensured that managers are aware of specific stress triggers, signs of stress or burnout for individual members of their team and have an understanding of how best to help that person when they’re stressed.

We know how important maintaining good mental health and wellbeing is. Afterall, you can’t pour from an empty cup. In order to best help our clients, HCPs and patients, we first need to make sure we’re caring for ourselves too. Through our various policies and strategies, we’re making sure every member of our team has the tools and support they need to maintain good mental health.
