Who we are & Why we do this.

With a combined experience of over 25 years in business management and helping people overcome mental health issues, we are uniquely placed to understand and meet your employees’ wellbeing needs.

Good health is good business.

Ngozi Weller

Director

Ngozi Weller is a qualified management training consultant and mental health first aider who equips HR and people managers with the tools to improve employee wellbeing in the Workplace. Having worked for over 15 years as a manager in Oil & Gas, Ngozi has experienced first-hand how challenging the corporate world can be, especially for those also juggling family commitments. She overcame her own battle with depression and anxiety and founded Aurora Wellness with her psychologist business partner to ensure that others have ready access to the type of workplace mental health support and awareness that was lacking in her time of need. When she’s not doling out advice, she can be found sitting mute on the sofa watching tv with her husband or refereeing fights between her two kids. She is a skilled writer and has her own blog as well as having featured in guest blogs and magazines.

The Impact of Poor Mental Health

A 2019 report on health and wellbeing in the workplace conducted by the CIPD showed that whilst two-fifths of organisations already have a standalone wellbeing strategy, the majority are reactive rather than proactive in their approach. As a result only 50% believe their organisation is effective at supporting staff with mental ill-health or at actively promoting good mental wellbeing. Is your organisation one of them?

23%

employees rate their wellbeing as poor.

What you can do

As a manager, you can’t force them to talk to you and even when they do, you cannot make them contact their doctor or a therapist. But if you do nothing then the situation will only worsen. Either your good people will leave because they feel unsupported, or you end up with such significant performance issues that your formerly good employee must now be managed carefully out of your business, taking all their knowledge, expertise and experience with them.

What most companies do when faced with employees struggling with common mental health disorders such as anxiety or depression, is to rely on Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) or encourage them to visit their doctor. But for many, this approach alone is ineffective as it puts the onus on the individual affected to reach out for help that they may not feel willing or able to receive.

We know that communication is the key to developing effective wellbeing strategies. Without having meaningful discussions with your people, you risk relying on solutions that do nothing to address the underlying wellbeing concerns. At Aurora, we equip managers with the skills to make managing mental health in the workplace easy.
