![]() I have repeatedly been asked to deliver training in a lunch session to ‘help create wellbeing workplaces’. Too often I have seen this happen when companies try to deliver wellbeing programmes, and rather than have any positive impact, these types of tick box exercises create apathy and disengagement. ![]() There continues to be a stubborn and unhelpful notion that a half hour talk on mental health is going to change any attitudes or behaviours in order to create healthier, more inclusive workplaces. ![]() In today’s society of being seen to be doing things just because it is a ‘step’ in the system, tick box culture means there is too much emphasis on following rules instead of actually helping employees feel engaged and energised. Welcome to ‘tick box’ culture… an environment where people tick the boxes of what they think has to happen but never ask the reasons why things are being done, or question whether they are having an effect. Mental health and emotional wellbeing are increasingly being recognised as important issues in the workplace, but are employers really doing enough to support employees? Or is the topic becoming more of a game of buzzword bingo with the danger of being quickly forgotten through tick box cultures?Ī workshop, a wellness day or an emailed mental health document to tick the box that your employees are now part of a wellbeing programme to support them is not enough.
