Read on to discover advice from Sanctus on key ways to implement wellness into business, introducing strategies to promote better mental health in the workplace.
Introducing SpaYse International partnership with Sanctus
Sanctus is on a mission to transform perceptions around mental health, transcending industries. Sanctus works with businesses to run coaching sessions and host community events with the ultimate aim of helping people become the ‘best version of themselves’.
Setting up two businesses prior to Sanctus, James Routledge is no stranger to high-pressure working environments. After suffering debilitating anxiety as a result of pressure from investors, co-workers and ultimately his own high standards, James began experiencing panic attacks, yet had no one to turn to for advice.
“I didn’t really know what was happening to me and was scared, so I closed up even more. I never spoke to anyone about what was going on and tried to figure it all out alone.”
Driven to set up Sanctus with his co-founder George – a brand they wish had existed for them and for millions of others. They created a safe space to openly discuss mental health issues. Santus is focused on building a supportive community so those experiencing mental health issues don’t have to do so alone.
“Sanctus makes mental health approachable, accessible and refreshing, showing the positives not just the negatives.”
James believes it requires a top down approach to make real change in business. From experience, engaging C-Level personnel to set company-wide standards achieves the best results. Initiatives such as the Stress Matters Pledge focus on three core pillars of communications, resourcing and clients, “From leadership, speak openly about mental health. This will create a culture of permission where people feel like it’s ok to talk.”
Strategies to promote mental health in the workplace
As Guardians of the Hospitality Industry, we collaborate with initiatives such as Sanctus Pledge to ensure mental health is taken seriously in the workplace.
Using such pledges become a badge of honour, a recruitment tactic to entice candidates joining one company over another.
From conversations we compiled the top four ways to increase mental health for hospitality companies:
