Psychological Safety in the Workplace

Do your leaders know how to initiate conversations appropriately when there are mental health and performance concerns?
Do your leaders know how to make reasonable adjustments to an employee’s workload when they are experiencing mental health issues?
The true cost of mental illness in the workplace is alarming.
Research suggests 1 in 5 Australian workers take time off work due to feeling mentally unwell1. This can have a significant impact on the bottom dollar of your workplace. The median time lost for mental health conditions was 5 times higher compared to physical injuries and diseases, which translates to 30.7 working weeks lost for mental health illness compared to 6.7 for physical injuries2. The cost associated with mental health illness to the Australian economy is estimated between $10 – $18 billion in lost productivity and reduced participation3. Leadership can play a key role in reducing the impact of mental ill health in the workplace by developing skills to identify the risks and support their employees’ mental health. This, in turn, benefits your workplace with a more engaged workforce, improved productivity, performance, and retention that empowers your people to live and work WELL.

A mindful practice of Yin Yoga and Sound Meditation.
Surrender to the silence and stillness within
Mindfulness matters:
In our fast-paced and instant world, many of us don’t understand the benefits of self-care through surrender and stillness. The result; burnt out, stressed out and maxed out people who experience feelings of overwhelm with high levels of fatigue, anxiety and depression. Our nervous systems are constantly in overdrive because we run too fast, too hard. for too long and when we hit the wall, we try to push through. This creates tension and pain physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
By allowing yourself to let go and surrender you’re able unravel the coils of tension built up within.
Rebecca offers thematic Yin Yoga and Sound Meditation experiences. Yin Yoga is a slow and progressive style of yoga that allows your body to open up and release.
Poses are held for longer periods of 1 – 5 minutes in each pose you’re able to find a position that works uniquely for your body. While you’re in each pose you’ll be bathed in sound waves of gongs, bowls, chimes and other instruments that quickly and efficiently transition your brain into Alpha and Theta brain wave frequencies, these frequencies quickly induce deep relaxation.
The benefits:
The combined benefits of Yin Yoga and Sound Meditation include:
Improved physical and mental health
Improved flexibility by releasing fascia and increasing joint mobility
Improved mood and sleep
Improved feelings of wellbeing
Improved circulation
Calms and balances the mind and body
Harmonises the flow of chi (our life energy)
