'Helping Girls Glow' with Liv Phyland

Whether she’s surfing, singing, or dancing like there’s nobody watching, Liv Phyland has energy to burn. She’s the television presenter with a genuine lust for life.

Her television debut was in 2011, when she became the host of ABC3’s flagship show Studio3. Then 2015, saw a jump from ABC to host Eleven’s music show The Loop (Network 10), alongside Scott Tweedie.

Indulging in her love for all things lifestyle and adventure, she has also appeared in her own show Liv on the Edge, and her adventure web series Letting Go. In 2019 Liv worked with Discover Japan to create the digital series Discover Japan: Okinawa with Liv Phyland. She also co-hosted two specials for the newly created Network Ten platform 10 Travlr for Tourism NZ in 2019, and Northern Territory, and Cairns in 2020.

She has MC’d events such as the Fun4Kids festival, Cyber Safety Summit, St Kilda Festival, ARIA’s Red Carpet, The Retailer Awards and Tropfest.

We are so excited for you to listen to this episode as Liv delves straight in to the topic at hand with the conversations that we still see been shied away from.

We hear how people can be affected by mental health not just directly, but also indirectly like Liv openly shares on the episode from seeing some of her closest people go through their struggles and how many people still shy away from the subject at hand when they feel they have nothing to contribute to the conversation because they haven't been directly affected personally.

This is such an important episode especially for those who feel exactly like this in not thinking that they have anything to say or advocate for.

The importance of knowing Mental Health can and does effect everyone of us throughout our life being that either directly or like this episode discusses indirectly.

Warning Signs Your Employee May Be Struggling With Mental Health.

Mental illnesses are defined as conditions that impact a person’s mood, thinking, feelings, and behavior.

These common mental health issues impact every area of life, from social and personal, to work and business.

And if you suspect someone at work may need help with a mental health issue, it can be difficult to know what to do. When this person is also your employee, it can be even harder.

If you suspect your employee is experiencing a problem with their mental health, it is important to act early and it could be time to intervene.

If you notice one or two of these symptoms, it is probably time to address what you are seeing confidentially and with empathy.

• Mood swings, emotional rollercoasters, and erratic behavior

• Taking or needing a lot of time off

• A decrease in or lack of productivity

• Withdrawal from social situations, especially with co-workers

• Changes in eating or sleeping behaviors

• An lack of care in appearance

KNOWING WHAT TO DO NEXT:

Remember first and foremost your employees may be scared to approach topics that they may be struggling in fear of judgement, in fear it may effect their job. Mental Health is also a very personal and sensitive topic to openly discuss.

But it is the hard conversations, it is so important to handle these situations with empathy, care and urgency if you are noticing these patterns in any employee.

Before approaching your employee, make sure you you gather advice or information from professionals. As a manager, it is important to have a plan in place for situations that occur like this and your human resources team should have a fully implemented plan in place already.

It is essential to speak as a manager to your company human resources department about their work-provided options and benefits that the company may already offer.

Though it can be hard to have these conversations, finding your employee the help they need is the most important thing you can do.

The Cost of Ignoring Mental Health in the WorkPlace

Nearly half of workers have been suffering from mental health issues since the Covid-19 pandemic began, at a significant cost to their well-being and potentially to their employer’s bottom line.

It’s a commonly accepted fact that adults spend roughly one-third of their lives at work.

That’s a significant amount of time, within which we are likely to experience a spectrum of physical and mental health.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 300million people suffer from depression globally

Depression and anxiety cost the global economy an estimated $1 trillion each year in lost productivity.

USA.

Mental health and substance abuse cost US businesses between $80 and $100 billion annually. Another study showed that serious mental illness costs America up to $193.2 billion in lost earnings per year 

Depression is thought to count for up to 400 million lost work days annually

UK.

Mental Health problems in the workplace cost the economy approximately £70 billion annually

91 million workdays are lost in the UK due to symptoms of mental illness

AUSTRALIA. (According to the Australian Human Rights Commission report)

A total of 3.2 days per worker are lost each year through workplace stress

Stress-related workers’ compensation claims have doubled in recent years, costing over $10 billion each year

Preliminary research shows that Australian businesses lose over $6.5 billion each year by failing to provide early intervention/treatment for employees with mental health conditions

To find out how the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign is helping International organizations better support the mental wellbeing of their employees, simply email us at info@imperfectlyperfectcampaign.org today and one of the team will get back to you.

It is worth calculating the rising cost of mental ill-health to your business. 

Ways in which Managers can support Employees' Mental Health

Uncertainly can lead to very anxious times.

During this time of unprecedented times with COVID-19, and nobody know what is going to happen next.

We are seeing Mental Health related struggles rapidly on the increase.

As we navigate through these times, companies are likely to see employees struggle with depression, anxiety, burnout, trauma, and PTSD.

So what can Managers do?

MODEL HEALTHY BEHAVIOURS.

As a company don’t just say you support Mental Health.

Model it and lead by example.

COMMENCE A CULTURE CHANGE BY CHECKING IN

Make it intentional to make sure you are checking in with your employees and create a culture where it becomes normal for your team to do the same with each other.

With so many people working from home now during COVID'-19, this now more than ever is so important to implement.

Again, lead by example as a manager and don’t merely ask the generic ‘Are you OK’ ask some specific questions and ask your employees if they are needing additional support.

SHARE YOUR STORY

Through the Imperfectly Perfect Campaign, we have shown that as a leader, being honest about your mental health struggles opens the dialogue for employees to feel much more comfortable in talking with you about mental health challenges of their own.

COMMUNICATION IS KEY

Make sure you keep your team informed and try to always remove stress where possible to keep employee morale up.

INVEST IN EDUCATION / TRAINING OR SUPPORT

Now more than ever, you should prioritize proactive and preventive workplace mental health training for leaders, managers, and individual contributors.

'In those Unbearable Moments, we have to know that there is greater, as hard as it may seem' with Brittney Harper

Brittney Harper is a multidimensional woman,making her mark in Ministry as an Author, Entrepreneur, TV personality, spirit-led teacher of God's Word and Prophetic Intercessor.

Brittney Harper is a multidimensional woman,making her mark in Ministry as an Author, Entrepreneur, TV personality, spirit-led teacher of God’s Word and Prophetic Intercessor. As a much-in-demand speaker and teacher of the gospel and prophetic voice to many, she continues to travel both nationally and inter-nationally to fulfill her mandated mission: to transform lives, heal hearts, encourage others to find and live in purpose, teach deeper truths and show others the way to live abundantly through Christ.

For those who have never felt or understood spirituality, make sure to give the episode a listen. If there is a commonality between so many people that we have interviewed, through those dark periods of adversity they have come out the other side believing in something far bigger than themselves. We feel very fortunate that the IPC has attracted incredible experts within the medical field, Clinical Professionals, Holistic Therapists, those who teach Spirituality and truly feel blessed that we get to interview and learn so much to be able to get help to so many.
