Elevate Workplace Wellbeing Programme Launched to Strengthen Employee Mental Health

Friday 3 October 2025

The Elevate programme partners with businesses across sectors to create healthier, more resilient teams. Through evidence-based training, tailored support, and the promotion of a culture of care, the initiative aims to build workplaces where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Why It Matters

With increasing concerns about workplace stress, absenteeism, and staff retention, the programme offers businesses a strategic approach to wellbeing. Employers who engage with Elevate can expect tangible benefits, including:

Reduced absenteeism and presenteeism

Increased staff resilience, morale, and productivity

Stronger team cohesion and workplace culture

Enhanced reputation as a supportive, forward-thinking employer

How It Works

The Elevate journey begins with a Workplace Wellness Audit to assess mental health, physical wellbeing, work-life balance, management style, and company culture. Anonymous staff surveys, group discussions, and policy reviews ensure an accurate understanding of current needs.

Based on these findings, West Wellbeing provides:

A clear Wellbeing Report highlighting strengths and risks

A practical Action Plan with short, medium, and long-term recommendations

Access to a range of training and support options

Programme Highlights

Accredited Training: Mental Health First Aid (2-day) and Living Works SafeTALK (half-day)

Resilience Workshops: Tools for managing workplace pressures

Specialist Training: Suicide prevention (ASSIST), managing difficult conversations, and peer support networks

Sustained Wellbeing: Quarterly workshops, onsite drop-in clinics, policy development, and annual impact reviews

A Culture Shift

Elevate goes beyond short-term fixes, offering businesses ongoing counselling support not only for employees but also for their partners and children. The initiative is positioned as a long-term investment in creating workplaces where wellbeing is central to organisational success.

"At West Wellbeing, we believe that healthier employees mean healthier businesses. Elevate is about equipping organisations with the tools, knowledge, and support to build workplaces where people can truly thrive," said a spokesperson from West Wellbeing.
