Creating thriving teams through fun and engaging adventurous outdoor activities and mindful wellness sessions.

A unique wellbeing and team building programme for creating thriving and successful teams.

Welcome to our Thrive and Connect Wellbeing Programme, a revolutionary wellbeing programme, brought to you by two of Scotland’s Premier Social Enterprises, MHScot Workplace Wellbeing in partnership with Venturing Out

With a dynamic combination of adventurous outdoor team building activities, mindful wellness sessions, and positive psychology practices, this programme is designed to help organisations build winning teams and cultivate a preventive wellbeing approach in the workplace.

Why invest in mental health and wellbeing in the workplace?

According to the Health and Safety Executive statistics published in 2021/22, an estimated 914,000 workers suffered from work-related stress, depression or anxiety (new or long-standing) which accounted for 50% of all work-related ill health.

 

This is costing the UK economy almost £118 billion per year. Clearly, the economic case is strong for investing in mental health awareness and support with organisations seeing an average £5 return for every £1 spent.

 

Furthermore, research has shown that happier employees are more productive, and a positive mental health culture in an organisation can improve team collaboration, attract and retain talent, increase employee engagement and help reduce presenteeism, absenteeism and leavism.
