We have experienced a couple of challenging years in the workplace that has tested the resolve of HR teams. As we may face continued disruption and change in the coming years around working practices, reward and benefit provision, many consider 2022 to be an ideal time for a period of reflection, review and planning.

It is increasingly recognised that mental health is at least as important – if not more so – than physical health, especially in the workplace. Very few people have the skills and knowledge to respond effectively to a mental health crisis, so having a qualified in-house mental health first aider is a valuable asset to any organisation. This two-day, NHS-accredited course covers: The 5 steps of Scottish Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA) and how to apply them How to recognise when someone might need help, and the best course of action to take The relationship between mental health and both discrimination and alcohol & drugs Practical advice and experience to assist you in future mental health crises should these arise

Masterclass - Home, Office, Hybrid: flexible working requests and assessing risks of office working Tuesday 21st September 2021 10.00 - 11.30am As Natalia’s recent Legal Issues article notes, a crescendo is building, particularly in the media and we are all anticipating more freedom of movement particularly in how we return to our workplaces.  If you are considering how the return to the workplace will operate; hybrid working patterns, or how to manage an influx of flexible working requests this event will provide you with some valuable tools and resources.

We continue our provision of wellbeing events, and after successful delivery of Mental Health First Aid Training in August, we are running a further public course in our offices at Atholl Crescent on the 27th and 28th September.

If you missed the July Masterclass; Effective Performance Management, then you may find yourselves zipping straight through to our Resolving Conflict event on 18th August! In this event we’ll cover approaches to informal resolution and then efficient formal grievance management.
