Mental health – why it’s top of the agenda at TG

There’s literally nothing more important to us than the happiness of our people.  

And that’s not because happier people equals better productivity. Sure, the business benefits are nice.  

But the real reward is knowing that our people are thriving. That they are getting the most from this crazy ride we call life.  

“That sounds admirable,” you say. “But what exactly are you doing to make it happen?” 

Since you asked so nicely … 

Our brains are full of stuff. Anxieties about the future. Concerns about the past. Hopes and dreams. What we’re having for dinner. Sometimes it’s all just too much, and what you need more than anything is help unpacking it all. 

That’s why we have mentors within and outside of the business. Our people can choose who they want as a mentor (it can be one person or many). They spend quality time together, talking about anything from how they’re doing at work to what their dreams are for the future.  

For those who want to fulfill a lifelong goal, a mentor can be their dreamcatcher.  

The mentee gains the space to be completely honest; there’s little more disheartening than sitting on a dream because you’re too afraid to talk about it. We listen and do everything in our power to make that dream a reality – even if that means a career change.  

A few years ago, Dr. Suzanne Brown – a Clinical Psychologist, ISTDP Psychotherapist and Director at Emotionally Connected – delivered a captivating talk on the relationship between mental health and performance in business. We attended that workshop, and to this day we are still talking about it!  

Rollback to a few months ago. A realisation was building; when it came to supporting our staff with their mental health, we were a little out of depth and needed more external support.  

So we got back in touch with Suzanne to ask for help. And she said yes! We’ve achieved so much since then, as Suzanne shares: 

“I’ve been doing monthly, three-day workshops around different topics with Tyler Grange’s leaders. I wanted to start with the leadership first; it’s important for them to experience the process themselves so they can build their self-awareness, mental fitness and empathy to better understand and support their people.
