At Kikwetu Flowers, we understand that a healthy workplace is built on the well-being of our employees. On July 31, 2024, we held a Mental Health Awareness Talk to address crucial topics like stress management and burnout, reinforcing our commitment to a supportive work environment.
Understanding Stress and How to Manage It
The workshop began with insights from Psychologist Trizah of Nanyuki Cottage Hospital, focusing on the sources of stress in both personal and professional lives. Employees were guided through practical techniques for managing stress, including time management, relaxation, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Open communication with supervisors was encouraged, ensuring that employees feel supported in managing their stress.
Positive Feedback and Future Steps
The feedback from our employees was overwhelmingly positive, with many finding the workshop both informative and relevant. The practical advice shared has equipped our team with tools to better manage stress and recognize the early signs of burnout.
Moving forward, Kikwetu Flowers is committed to sustaining this momentum by providing ongoing mental health support, considering the development of a formal mental health policy, and ensuring regular follow-up sessions to monitor our employees’ well-being.
Conclusion
The Mental Health Awareness Talk was a significant step in fostering a healthier workplace at Kikwetu Flowers. By prioritizing mental health, we are not only supporting our employees but also building a stronger, more resilient organization.
