EP08: Blooming minds, mental health & heartfelt leadership w/ Tasha Broomhall

On this episode of Work Feels, we discuss the importance of mental health in the workplace. We highlight the common factors that contribute to burnout and the stigma around disclosing mental health issues at work. We also provide statistics on the global impact of mental health issues on productivity. The guest speaker, Tasha Broomhall, shares her experience working in a workplace mental health service and how it opened her eyes to the need for better support for those with mental health issues in the workplace.  Our interview focused on normalising mental health conversations in the workplace and creating a safe environment for employees to share their mental health issues. Tasha emphasised the need for skill development in leaders to respond to mental health issues in a respectful and non-intrusive manner. She also suggested incorporating mental health into safety moments and encouraging leaders to share their own experiences of learning about mental health. Tasha discussed the challenges of discussing mental health in the workplace and provided tips for employees and managers, emphasising the importance of creating a safe space for employees to discuss their mental health.  Tasha Broomhall discusses the four quadrants of mental health and the benefits of looking after mental health in the workplace. The new book, The Ecosystem of Work, is recommended for leaders to develop an ecosystem that manages psychological safety and helps people and organisations to flourish.
