Employee mental health is a growing priority for modern workplaces.

Recently, from 1 December 2025, new psychosocial safety regulations in Victoria required organisations to actively identify and manage risks that can harm mental health, such as excessive workloads, bullying and poor leadership.

Meeting these requirements is not just about compliance. Proactive strategies, supportive leadership and the right training help create safer, healthier workplaces where people can thrive.

New Year resolutions or- New Year reflections?

What doesn’t work - New Year resolutions. They require will power, which is exhausting and eventually fails (about 22 January?) And we go back to doing what we are trying to change!

So please, forget the New Year resolutions.

This year, focus on reflections-

Values based reflections- like what did I stand for in 2025?

What do I wish to stand for in 2026?

What is the first simple step I can take to align with this value?

Example- “I value choosing fresh, non-processed food and enjoying planning tasty meals”

Instead of “I am starting a strict diet and stcking to it!”

Remember the definition of insanity is “doing the same things and expecting a different result”

So to help you get started with values based goals we are offering 30 minute planning sessions aimed at exploring fresh solutions to old problems and creating steps to change thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are getting in the way of positive change.

These FREE sessions are available on Friday afternoons, for January 2026.
Enjoy your celebrations, stay safe,

Anne
