Staubli UK has been working closely with Sara at The Mind Solution International to develop an employee wellbeing strategy. As a company, we've invested significantly in pay and reward, but this was our first step into mental health and wellbeing. We needed an expert to guide us, and Sara was that guiding expert.

From our first meeting, she put together a comprehensive road map to achieve our goals and has been steering us through the entire process. Sara met with each of the Leadership team to understand and get clarity on their vision for workplace wellbeing and to ensure the strategy aligned with our company and HR goals.

As a Leadership team we recognised we needed training to understand the different areas of wellbeing.  We knew we wanted a wellbeing strategy but weren't too sure what employee wellbeing looked like!  As a result, Sara took us through a one-day leadership training course to provide us with that knowledge. She used great examples to bring the training to life and helped us see what we were already doing well! She also took us through a a powerful leadership exercise to raise our levels of self-awareness about how we show up and the impact that has on our teams which was very thought provoking.

Sara designed an anonymous survey to assess the current mental health and wellbeing of our employees across the whole of the wellbeing spectrum, including financial wellbeing. The survey results were enlightening and helped steer the key deliverables for the wellbeing strategy.  The survey is also a brilliant tool for us to measure the effectiveness of the strategy.  She explained that we didn't need to launch everything at once and could roll out the strategy in line with key mental health dates. Sara also reviewed our existing wellbeing initiatives, including our e-learning platform, and used her knowledge as a therapist to highlight its insufficiencies. She provided access to The Mind Solution wellbeing platform, showcasing the significant difference in training quality.

We now have a 2-year wellbeing strategy in place, confident that it will meet the needs of our people and our business moving forward. Alongside her expertise, Sara has been fantastic to work with—asking thought-provoking questions, challenging the status quo, and bringing great fun to our collaboration!"

I’ve been working with Sara for about 9 months to get our employee wellness program up and running, which includes making all of the content from The Mind Solution’s portal available to everyone at the agency. She was wonderful from the start, always open to having conversations with other members of exec leadership to ensure we had buy-in, and collaborating to figure out the portal’s rollout and ongoing engagement plan. We’ve had wonderful feedback from the team so far, and I’m excited for the continued impact this will have for everyone…not just in a work context, but in their personal lives, as well.
