5 benefits of hiring a mental health speaker for your next corporate event

Since the onset of the pandemic, it’s become clear that mental health is one of the biggest challenges facing society today. Maintaining a positive mindset is crucial for us to be able to live, work and enjoy socialising with friends, family and colleagues. Gaining an awareness of mental health issues is vital for learning how to look after the wellbeing of the people around us.

Booking a mental health speaker to address your next corporate event is a great way to get your office talking about wellness in a way that matters. Today, we explore a number of benefits that wellbeing speakers can add to your next work event.

 

Change attitudes around mental health

 

Many companies tend to overlook the importance of lifestyle and wellbeing in favour of maintaining productivity and driving profit margins, which can often create a toxic office culture that leave employees feeling burnt out. Specialist keynote speakers highlight for your team that nothing matters more than their own mental health and wellbeing, promoting healthy attitudes and ultimately making your workplace a better place to be.

 

Remind your workplace that it’s okay to talk

 

The world is an overwhelming place at times, and when you’re struggling it can feel like your feelings are a burden to those around you. Hiring a guest speaker to discuss the importance of headspace can encourage employees to share their own challenges with mental health, and could seriously prove to be a lifesaving moment for one of your team members.

 

Break the stigma around mental health

 

Many people who deal with mental health issues are afraid to talk about what they’re going through due to the stigma that surrounds conditions like depression and anxiety. However, it’s vital to be proactive and tackle these serious topics head on in order to break this stigma, and enlisting a passionate mental health speaker to discuss these issues in an open, unthreatening and unjudgmental manner can go a long way in normalising such issues.

 

Inspire your team

 

There is no disputing that mental health is a serious topic, but it’s important to remember that there’s always a way to overcome even the toughest of adversity. Our mental health speakers are experienced in making serious topics accessible and engaging for a wide audience, and their ability to motivate listeners with their stories is nothing short of inspiring.

 

Create positive change in the workplace

 

Whether it’s a lighthearted mental fitness workshop or a serious down-to-earth conversation, hiring a keynote speaker to discuss wellness and lifestyle will help create a positive change among your workplace, encouraging employees to open up with one another and ultimately work towards maintaining a positive mindset.
