Wellness at Portico | Mental Health & Wellbeing Support

It can lose its meaning and have initiatives thrown at it that often have no meaning or value.

We value mental health and wellbeing as core assets to our business and have dedicated experts on hand when we recognise any problems that can become serious. So here’s an insight into some of the things we do to ensure your wellbeing is at the forefront of our business.

The EAP at Portico has been created especially for anyone that is struggling and needs to speak to one of our experts. The level of support is second to none, making the most of their potential and helping our people cope with what life throws at them. This can help them to get back to playing a full part in their relationships, workplace and community.

According to a study by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, 1 in 6.8 people experiences mental health problems in the workplace (14.7%).

There can be specific causes to mental health problems; a traumatic event, working conditions and our environment or sometimes it’s simply just how we feel. Mental health issues can affect anyone, any day of the year and we’re working hard to make sure we keep the conversation about mental health in the workplace going.

Our mindfulness training began in 2015, long before it was a buzzword. This training provides self-development opportunities to manage pressure and wellbeing, learning to focus on meditation to accept emotion and developing the ability to think calmly and reduce stress. This remains a central part of our Portico wellbeing agenda.

That’s not all. Our expert life coaches and health gurus run monthly wellbeing courses for our people which are supported by ‘Healthy Living with Portico’, a home to our wider wellbeing initiatives, podcasts, tutorials, expert advice and bite-sized training sessions.

We believe that it’s not just about being comfortable enough to talk about the problems...

It is fundamental that our management plays a crucial role in supporting our people that experience distress and/or mental health problems.

At Portico, we support the development of compassionate and effective line management relationships – providing opportunities for managers and supervisors to attend mental health awareness training and dedicated courses for mental wellbeing. We ensure that specialist training is matched with our ability to listen compassionately and act appropriately.

Happy and Healthy
