Spindogs utilises online and face-to-face training workshops to encourage conversation and confidence around staff mental health. Platfform Wellbeing designed a bespoke wellbeing programme that addressed the specific needs of all cohorts: Staff- introducing mental health and wellbeing to the wider workforce, connecting recent pandemic experiences and challenges to the conversation Managers- developing the skillsets of your leaders, managing change, understanding mental health and taking conversations forward. Directors – connecting the senior leaders of Spindogs to mental health and employment law, risks and approaches along with developing a culture of wellbeing to support future growth plans. Results Post-training survey data was collated from those attending the courses and provided back to directors as a feedback and analysis report. Spindogs were able to use this and the programme content to continue with their own wellbeing programme managed by a dedicated community coordinator. “I would definitely recommend this training to other SMEs as it gives you practical and relevant tools and tips and allows you to be facilitated through”. - Claire Farren, Head of Operations Quote from Amanda Williams, Community Coordinator “We saw a massive positive impact on our employees after the training. We saw more open and honest communication...If they were struggling, they were more inclined to voice it, knowing there was support around them”.
