Communication is what oils the work machine. Communication flows endlessly through organisations and can carry powerful messages to engage hearts and minds, improve productivity and performance and to consolidate effort in the right direction.
It is critical to providing clarity, embedding the culture and understanding exactly what your people need and how they are tracking.
When related specifically to mental health and wellness, outcomes of effective communication are widespread. It serves to: reduce the stigma of discussing mental health; to educate a wider workforce; to mitigate risks and prevent mental health injury, or to intervene to address early signs of stress or fatigue; and to ensure discussions about mental health remain front of mind.
