SEMINAR FOR THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS
Promoting and Protecting Mental Health in the Public SectorMental Health in the Workplace: Challenges for Public InstitutionsThe increase of chronic diseases includes a growing incidence of work-related mental
illnesses. Absences from work and early retirement due to mental illness have increased in
recent years. Presenteeism and absenteeism due to mental health problems are additionally
the main causes of productivity loss and the main reasons for substantial costs at workplaces.
Work reintegration of employees and return to work after sick leave are, therefore, at the
heart of every institution. However, reintegrating employees who suffer from mental illnesses
can be a demanding task for the respective employer. The goal of promoting and protecting
mental health in the workplace is linked with overcoming the prevalent stigma associated
with mental illnesses. One of the biggest challenges in the implementation phase of mental
health policies is overcoming resistance within the organisation. While employee wellbeing
is being recognised and fostered, the importance of mental health of employees still needs
to be emphasised towards staff and the senior management. Addressing mental health
problems in the workplace will thus begin with the development of a policy which defines
the vision for improving the mental health of the workforce and establish a model for action.
A Professional Mental Health Management as a Solution Our two-day seminar will give you the unique opportunity to learn what steps to take to
effectively promote and protect mental health in your organisation. This seminar will show
you how to effectively
• find the right indicators in order to measure mental health issues of employees to find the
most vulnerable persons within the most vulnerable groups
• develop a promotion programme strategy which envisages an effective management of
employee mental health
• overcome the challenges in implementing mental health promotion policies and use new
and innovative approaches in promoting mental health at work
• convince the senior management of your mental health actions
• raise awareness of mental health issues and manage employee teams
• get buy-in for your mental health programmes from staff and the management
• benefit from the necessary coping strategies that should be taken at times of crisis and
how to effectively use the method of psychological first aid (PFA)
• reduce risk factors for suicide in the workplace
• manage work reintegration of employees experiencing mental health issues
“Very good start into a vast topic that becomes more and more important for staff.”
