EMPLOYER'S INFORMATION HUB & ROADSHOW

Mental Health Information Hub & Interactive Touchscreen

With up to half of all staff absences due to mental health problems, the promotion of mental health and well being at work can pay real dividends by reducing absenteeism and sickness rates, and encouraging a more motivated and capable workforce.   Fife Employment Access Trust is offering organisations throughout Fife the opportunity to display the Mental Health and Wellbeing at Work "Information Hub" for one week at their place of work, all free of charge.   Consisting of a lightweight display stand measuring just under three feet by six-and-a-half feet tall and a range of free leaflets, the hub is ideal for staff canteens or rest rooms and will provide staff and managers with a wealth of practical and useful information on various illnesses and how to promote a healthy workplace.  We also have a touchscreen version of the information, so need for paper and ideal if you are short of space.

A small table-top and poster display is also available for smaller premises, as well as an e-version for organisations with no free space or multiple sites.   

The hub will be set up, maintained and removed by our staff. The vast array of leaflets available free from the hub are listed in our publications page, and include information from MIND (National Association of Mental Health), NHS and FEAT.

Wellbeing at Work Roadshow

The Roadshow is also free of charge to Fife employers and runs for one week in your premises. It includes the 'Information Hub' as above, but goes further than simply hosting a display by adding all of the following elements:    

Stress Audit

We provide HSE stress questionnaires (35 questions) for each organisation, analyse the results and offer any recommendations or additional advice.  The findings from a stress audit can be fed into organisational change and, in doing so, transform the culture into a more healthy one.  This service also ensures anonymity for each employee and therefore an 'honest' picture is more likely.  Stress audits work particularly well in conjunction with information you will already keep - such as sickness absence statistics, productivity rates, accidents and staff turnover.  Our stress audits can also be broken down by department or job function, to identify any areas of concern (or success) on a 'local' level.  If there are areas for development identified as a result of the audit, FEAT can also offer a range of training sessions to help you reach new goals. Our stress audits will shortly be available on our touchscreen equipment.
