Whether from a risk, care, compliance or productivity perspective, most organisations recognise the importance of having a good mental health program. Most, however, are also based on assumptions about mental health and people who are struggling, that no longer hold true. Science and technology, along with increased global awareness have written an optimistic script for the future of workplace wellness strategies. We have the ability to improve efficiency, effectiveness, ROI - enhancing our employees personal and professional lives, more than ever before.

It’s time to think differently about mental health.
Executive Team Profiling
While individual leaders are typically promoted for their technical expertise, leadership teams themselves don’t typically thrive or fail because of gaps in experience or knowledge. Personality is a far greater predictor of teams that outperform others than any other variable. It is personality that will predict whether attention to detail or strategy is a focus, whether relationships will be prioritised or sacrificed for results, and whether people will collaborate or compete to achieve results.
​
Maximising our understanding of a team’s combined strengths, unique motivators and drivers, and most powerfully, what teams will be predicted to do in times of stress, is a powerful, empirically validated way to elevate Executive teams.
Team profiling may be utilised to increase insight, reduce conflict, set shared goals around team strategies for being at it’s best, or, where there are gaps and blindspots for a team, to select and integrate new team members.

Wellbeing Meets Leadership
Over 50% of Australians will meet the criteria for a mental health issue at some point in their working lives. Even in the highest performing leaders, the risk of poor mental health is considerable given that stress is a significant trigger. High anxiety, perfectionism, disrupted sleep and self-criticism are also common in higher achievers.
​
Our unique understanding of high performance as well as our industry-leading clinical practice in mental health uses digital technology to identify risks and improve wellbeing strategies. Identifying unhelpful thinking styles, increasing resilience following relationship, financial and parenting challenges, and re-wiring coping strategies can be helpful in maintaining performance and wellbeing.
