From Awareness to Action
The Risk of Inaction
Without appropriate training, changes in someone’s mental health can be missed. Difficulties may then escalate into reduced productivity, longer absences, staff turnover or crisis. Just as importantly, employees may not feel safe enough to speak up or know who they can approach.
What Your Organisation Can Do
Train a cohort of employees to become visible, approachable Mental Health First Responders within your organisation.
Exmet Mental Health First Response® gives employees the confidence to recognise when someone may be struggling, begin an appropriate conversation, listen effectively and guide them towards further support. Clear boundaries ensure responders understand the difference between supportive peer intervention and professional care.

The Business Case for Better Mental Wellbeing
Â
Poor mental health doesn't only affect the individual. Its impact can be felt across the whole organisation — through sickness absence, reduced performance, staff turnover and presenteeism.
Â
Presenteeism occurs when employees remain at work but are unable to perform at their usual level because they are struggling.
Â
Deloitte estimates that poor mental health costs UK employers around £51 billion every year.
