It’s really important for employers to select a training programme that will deliver the results they want, which fits their business and people.
All too often I speak with businesses who select based on title and popularity without ensuring the content is right for them. “It’s a First Aider programme in Mental Health so it must be good”.
But is it right for every workplace?
In my view, having delivered a popular Mental Health First Aider programme for over 10 years, the answer is no.
There is no ‘one size fits all’, which is why it’s critical to select the training for your business based on the content and impact that will be delivered to your people.
I stopped delivering this course three years ago because there were a number of areas I wasn’t happy with. Having read Stephen Bevan’s (Institute of Employment Studies) concerns – back in 2019 and again last month and the latest Cochrane review – its clear content should be a deciding factor not a course name.
Over the past three years it’s been insightful delivering the Practitioner and Manager levels of @I-act globally in diverse workplaces and seeing the knowledge and confidence gained in delegates.
Yesterday saw another course delivered to a global corporate’s #OneTeam and what a collaborative journey of learning it was.
Now they have the knowledge and tools to make a real difference to themselves and those around them.
