Workplace Mental Health Initiatives
Creating mentally healthy workplaces
Dr. Tiff partners with businesses and national organisations across Australia to deliver evidence-based workplace mental health initiatives that contribute to a thriving culture, enhance work performance and productivity, and which support people to become more resilient and engaged.
Why do workplace mental health initiatives matter?
Involving all the members of your organisation in workplace mental health initiatives creates an environment where staff well-being is prioritised, and where values are visible and lived.
Mentally healthy workplaces and organisations are more resilient because employees feel supported and motivated. They are better equipped to make decisions, show greater clarity under pressure, and are more able to achieve sustainable work/life integration. To achieve lasting improvements in employee wellness, leadership teams need to be actively engaged in mental health efforts.
What is self‑directed wellbeing and how does it enhance mental health at work?
Dr. Tiff’s signature approach is self‑directed wellbeing, which focuses on employees empowering themselves so that they are able to make meaningful changes. She supports organisations to find suitable initiatives that give their teams the tools they need to unlock active wellbeing and harness their power.
Self-directed wellbeing is an evidence based framework that delves into the layers that make up a person's overall wellness, incorporating emotional intelligence, stress management and resilience training, as well as physical health. Dr. Tiff's workplace health programs encourage employees to create a toolkit of coping strategies and skills so that they are better equipped to maintain good mental health.
When collaborating with businesses and government organisations of all sizes, Dr. Tiff supports the creation of mentally healthy workplaces through addressing positive aspects of life, such as career satisfaction, social connectivity and personal growth. Employee mental health is fostered through nurturing the whole person, integrating mindfulness and encouraging the pursuit of passions, while supporting individuals to gain greater clarity, self-awareness and understanding of their values.
Improved workplace health delivers a range of benefits for all types of organisations and businesses.
Mentally healthy workplaces have reduced absenteeism and stress-related leave, there is less worker burnout, and employees are more consistently engaged and productive. This is turn leads to improved staff retention, as employees feel their work health is being cared for and valued.
Organisations and employers further benefit when they show a greater commitment to mental health at work through employees having enhanced productivity and focus, so they are able to contribute more effectively to business operations and goals. Likewise, managers whose training enables them to recognise and respond to mental health conditions and challenges in the workplace help to create a compassionate leadership culture.
In addition, when an organisation addresses its mental health obligations, it is better able to comply with WHS and Fair Work requirements.

Customised approach to employee wellness based on your industry
Every organisation and employer is different, so Dr. Tiff will begin by assessing your workplace culture and how this affects the ongoing mental health, engagement and participation of employees.
From this initial consultation, she will devise a program of suitable initiatives that address your specific mental health at work needs that are evidence-based and outcome-focused, with the aim of creating long-term impact where mental health awareness becomes embedded in your business or organisation.
The result is mentally healthy workplaces where managers and employees alike experience profound shifts and can act on them, creating good mental health and a greater sense of psychological safety for all, not just temporary motivation.
Clients including Westpac, University of South Australia, Parents at Work, Gogo Foundation, NOVA Systems, and other organisations all report how they have benefitted from Dr. Tiff's many programs that address mental ill health and stress in the workplace, and which are created to support people as they implement holistic change.
