The British Safety Council launches mental wellbeing videos
THE British Safety Council is urging employers to make changes in the workplace that address mental wellbeing and is off ering employees practical tools to help them deal with stress and anxiety at work.
In May, the charity launched three videos to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week. They are based on tried-and-tested wellbeing techniques and exercises that encourage staff to relax in order to alleviate racing thoughts associated with stress and anxiety. They also encourage physical activity at work.
Matthew Holder, Head of Campaigns at the British Safety Council, said: “The British Safety Council’s wellbeing videos are intended as a practical resource to help employees look after their wellbeing and deal with the pressures of everyday working life. We hope that they will become a part of the lunchtime routine, accessed in bite-size chunks and used when required.”
The fi rst demonstrates a breathing exercise which aims to control stress and anxiety with the help of breathing, by slowing the overall activity of the brain and relaxing both the mind and the body.
The second features a visualisation exercise intended to release tension and improve concentration. Visualisation exercises combined with deep breathing are proven to reduce stress and relax the body, giving the person a moment of peace in the hectic work environment.
The third shows chair exercises which include shoulder, leg, feet and stomach exercises for relaxing various parts of the body that stiffen and ache as
