Mental Health Training in the Workplace


To ensure your workforce's psychological well-being, offering mental health training is a significant first step to ensuring every employee feels secure.

That's why we thought we'd share this great article we sourced called "Beyond "Nice": How Training Supports Psychological Safety in the Workplace."

This informative piece was written by Jenny Ayers, an Associate Editor for the Training Industry website, and shines a light on why L&D leaders must know best practices for promoting, measuring, and maintaining psychological safety in the workplace, with critical topics including:

  • Raising awareness
  • Developing interpersonal skills
  • Leadership training
  • Feedback culture
  • Providing resources

 

How To Maintain Psychological Safety at Work

 

Jenny's main takeaway:

"No workplace is without its challenges — employees will receive disappointing evaluations, tough decisions will be made, and conflicts will arise. However, these challenges are easier to overcome when employees dare to speak up about their concerns, define their boundaries, and embrace each other's differences, even when they don't see eye to eye. A psychologically safe workplace embraces employees' strengths while giving them the confidence to share their ideas, the freedom to fail, and the motivation to get back up and try again."
