Each year undiagnosed depression in the workplace costs $4.3 billion in lost productivity. Hilton, M. (2004). Assessing the financial return on investment of good management strategies and the WORC Project. The University of Queensland.

In this 3 hr. workshop Mags will take a closer look at various mental health issues that are prevalent in the workplace, the differences to look out for, what to do and where to go.

She will conduct an easy, practical, fun exercise, relevant to your organisation, to demonstrate the silent profit eater and its potential impact if not attended to. Mags will discuss proven methods on how to manage these situations and demonstrate how coaching can be used a tool to assist.

There is a definite stigma attached to depression causing people and organisations to not wish to acknowledge the problem.

A survey, by organisation beyondblue, reveals 40 per cent of Australian professionals feel uncomfortable working closely with someone who has depression. The Australian and ABC News

'The reason for anyone holding stigmatising views is very simple - ignorance of the situation. We don't know how to react, what to say. We worry that we may say or do the wrong thing and those fears can lead us to avoiding behaviours, which can be taken by an individual as stigmatising'. Mags Bell

Attending this workshop will assist you in being better equipped to deal with the cases that arise within your organisation, limiting the negative impact stress and depression may have on the bottom line.
