Job Purpose: Managers and leaders play an important role in their team’s wellbeing, but it is not always easy to know how to provide optimal support nor the impact of that leadership role on the manager’s own mental health. The question “who cares for the caregiver?” is increasingly being asked in a rapidly changing environment; there are increased expectations towards management and leadership towards meeting the wellbeing of staff members.  An organizational shift is taking place from putting the burden of solving the problem(s) mainly on the shoulders of individual employees to an integrated organizational mental fitness approach –a more holistic, multi layered shared responsibility. To better address this issue, the first phase of the project will entail a comprehensive assessment to identify managers’ needs and current expertise level in managing for team wellbeing and enhancing a mentally healthy working environment (while managing their own wellbeing/work life balance). This assessment phase will identify the tailored needs of different levels of trainings based on leadership responsibilities and expertise.

Scope of Work:

  • Interview different categories of managers and leaders (a minimum of 12 countries) using both qualitative and quantitative measures to better assess the current scope of the implementation of the integrated organizational mental health framework across relevant domains. Particularly, the specific roles of the managers in integrating wellbeing in work plans and develop psychologically safe and organizational mental fitness-informed working environment.
  • Assess the current measures utilized by managers (preventatives.  reactive/response driven measures) to support the wellbeing of staff, with a focus on resilience among managers and mental health fitness.
  • Conduct a  thorough systematic assessment of current leadership skills as it pertains to staff wellbeing management, supporting mangers in improving the “quality of life within the working environment” and destigmatizing the reality of mental health needs while balancing wellbeing and managing performance/delivery of services, including managers’ needs related to the Duty of Care for managers.
  • The consultant will provide a comprehensive report/review on the best organizational trainings available in comparable settings to better equip managers in integrating an organizational mental health fitness approach. Also, the consultant will make recommendations on what to include in the tailored training packages for the second phase based on the initial-phase assessment’s outcomes while comprehensively reviewing the already existing training packages/literature and assessing relevant resources focusing on resilience among managers and mental health fitness.

Qualification:

  • Academic qualifications and required level of education: Preferred Ph.D.  in Clinical Psychology/organizational psychology.

Experience:

  • A minimum of 8 years working experience in mental health/leadership in Organizations and corporations
