Episode 9: Mental health is a business issue - how can we tackle it together?
Guest speaker: Suhail Mirza, Chairman, NED and specialist advisor to the healthcare and recruitment sectors
Mental health is at last being seen as a business issue by employers, leaders as well as HR teams. There are three key factors driving this: scale, economic impact and the state of the labour market. How can we tackle this issue within our businesses?
Join global wellness speaker and advisor, NED, Chairman of the Advisory Board within nGAGE Specialist Group, and author of Laing Buisson healthcare sector report, Suhail Mirza, as he dives into why mental health is a business issue, what approach businesses can take to address this and support their staff, and the behaviours we need to embed to support better mental health in the workplace.
Suhail brings together evidence-based techniques and approaches leaders can adopt to tackle the mental health issues affecting us all today. A must-listen podcast for recruitment leaders and consultants in the current climate – and especially relevant this Mental Health Awareness Week.
