Why the MHAW Model?

Increases Efficiency and Participation::

Supporting and improving the mental health of your employees makes them more resilient to stress, improves their thinking, decision-making, workflow and work relationships at work. All of this translates into increased productivity.

Reduces Costs and Risk:

Improving mental health can be a smart financial decision for businesses. Investing in a mentally healthy workplace can result in cost savings by reducing absenteeism (frequent absences due to illness) and presenteeism (the problem of not being present at work) and lost productivity. It can also help you meet workplace health and safety guidelines.

Focuses on Early Intervention / Prevention:

Considering that we spend about 60% of our time at work and may be exposed to work-related stress - workload, deadlines, coworkers' behavior and personalities, management styles, job security concerns and others, it is important to communicate healthy ways to deal with stress before problems occur. Solving problems after they occur can create new costs for the organization.

Reduces the Impact of Mental Problems and Solves Problems:

Conducting preventive studies on the occurrence of workplace-induced mental health problems is valuable for employee health and well-being and necessary for workplaces to prevent cost and time losses. It is also critical for workplaces to support employees who are already experiencing mental health problems.

Reduces Stigma and Creates a Positive Workplace Atmosphere:

Mental Health can be a difficult topic to discuss in the workplace. Employees are often hesitant to raise mental and emotional issues. Providing resources that support awareness can help create an accessible and positive workplace that also encourages interaction and attracts talent.

Risk Assessment:

This stage is carried out to measure and understand the impact of work-related stress caused by psychosocial risks on employees' health, well-being, productivity and performance. It is the stage of assessing psychosocial risks within the framework of occupational health and safety using measurement and assessment tools created by NHUMAN. The risk assessment phase starts with the completion of individual and organizational preliminary information forms. The corporate psychosocial risk assessment report constitutes an important road map for organizations for the risk management phase.

Risk Management:

It is the stage of preparing strategic action plans for the organization's psychosocial risks and mapping risk assessments. Action plans are prepared for the identified risks and preparations are made for the action plan through evaluation meetings with the organization.

Supporting the Employee's Ability to Work:

It is the stage of supporting the employee's ability to work with individual and group-oriented support for risky areas revealed by risk assessment. Employee Support systems are a consultancy system for solving the problems experienced by employees at work. It offers a supportive model for coping with work-related stress, ensuring work and private life balance and solving work-related problems.

Awareness:

This is the stage of creating a culture of awareness in the field of Psychological Health and Safety. This stage includes creating inclusive policies to raise awareness on Mental Health in the Workplace, regular mental health briefings, all kinds of information and steps to maintain a sustainable health perspective.

Recovery and Support:

This stage includes conducting improvement and support activities through trainings and seminars, raising awareness of leaders on mental health at work and adopting intersectional approaches in the management of teams.
