How to make an impact at scale?
When you work relentlessly to support health, wellbeing and performance of other people, who supports you? We do.
At Elite Mind Academy, we are committed to driving global change in health and wellbeing by reimagining the future of work and connecting the best experts in health, coaching, therapy and consulting with unmet needs in the market.
Recently, we have received government funding to design national guidelines and implementation frameworks for organisational wellbeing strategy.
We would like to invite you to contribute your expertise to our research and design process and share commercial success of the project by becoming our delivery partner.
We use human-centric research methods, ecosystemic design and dialogical consulting process to create a new framework that can show what good looks like in organisational wellbeing and performance, how to establish the right starting point and how to measure the impact of wellbeing and mental health initiatives at work.
This is how your participation may look like:
Listening stage:
In this stage we would like you to share your personal experiences with help and wellbeing at work in a confidential interview.
We would also like you to spread the word about the research and invite other individuals with lived experience of mental illness, disability, neurodiversity, accidents and other life challenges to have a say in this design project.
We are particularly keen to hear from diverse, underrepresented groups whose voices are seldom heard at work and in society.
Purpose: Discovering unmet employee needs
Design and prototyping stage:
We would like to invite you to co-design our framework and solutions, by contributing your expertise through a series of events and workshops.
Here are examples of design Workshop topics you could contribute to:
1.Physical Environment.
2. Training and Development.
3. Support Infrastructure.
4. Data and Communication.
5.Governance and Compliance.
1.Physical Environment.
In this workshop we will explore physical conditions required for a healthy and supportive working and living environment, and how to include this into our work with organisations. We will ask: how to assess the quality of the physical environment? How to identify risks and opportunities? How to use different environments to drive health and behavioural change? What value each of you can bring into the Elite Mind consulting model in the category of the environment? What else do we need to learn from our research?
2. Training and Development.
In this workshop we will explore training and development requirements for driving health and wellbeing in the workplace. We will look at the ideal conditions that cater for diverse needs, how to identify risks and opportunities, and how to build organisational health through training and development initiatives.
We will ask how to measure success, how to identify the right starting point and how to track progress. We will also explore how your expertise could fit into the Elite Mind consulting model.
3. Support Infrastructure.
In this workshop we will explore how to support employee’s personal needs and struggles in the workplace, and the boundaries between internal support and external, expert help. We will ask how to identify those needs, how and when to provide for them, how to identify risks, and how to build feedback loops between individuals, organisation, and expert providers. We will explore how your expertise can contribute to Elite Mind consulting model in this field, and how the commercial model would look like.
4. Data and Communication.
In this workshop we’ll explore how organisations know what they know, how they learn about what they don’t know, and what actions they take as a result. We will look at the role of communication flow and direction in building supportive culture and driving health & wellbeing in the workplace.
We will ask how to define criteria for how ‘good’ communication looks like, how to align organisational vision & mission, and the role of leadership in role modelling environments where it is safe to talk.
5.Governance and Compliance.
In this workshop we’ll explore current legal boundaries governing the organisational health & wellbeing industry, how current policies and procedures support the needs of the future, and what new regulations we need to put in place to drive positive change in our society. We will explore the best and worst practices as regards to policies and procedures, and how to ensure they reflect organisational culture, strategic objectives and individual needs, and how our collective influence can shape governments.
