Learning From The Edges
The world of work is full of friction. Departments work in silos. Work gets stuck. Teams find workplaces are not as easeful as they could or should be. And in all of this human beings are caught in the challenges, resulting in poor work, mental health worries and worse. As a research project, Learning From The Edges will look at the edges of work, where friction exists and explore what gets in the way of work and of learning. Why is there friction? How can work be more fruitful for organisations and people? What barriers do people have and what practical ways they can overcome those barriers?

Learning From The Edges
Episode #14 Prioritising Our Mental Health: Humanising the Workplace. With guest Anita Guru.
Work is a big part of our everyday lives but we all have to live with the impact of how we feel and respond in our day to day roles. In this podcast we think about how people are beyond the desk they sit at.
People often face increasing challenges which can affect their mental health. Businesses are looking for better ways to support staff with the balancing act of life and work. How can we all achieve a healthier work-life balance?
In time for World Mental Health Day on 10th October, join us as we discuss the impact of friction in work on mental health with Anita Guru.
Anita has a background in Occupational Psychology and has worked in Leadership, Talent and Organisational Development for nearly 20 years. Anita has herself been on a personal journey with mental illness. Since her recovery she has been raising awareness around mental health to break the stigma in the workplace and open up the conversation for others who may be struggling.
