Building a personal brain-healthy toolkit balancing both work and play

We tend to go with what’s readily available—whether it’s the food we eat, choosing stairs over elevators, or adapting to workplace culture.

Key players in creating a brain-healthy workplace
Employers
At the heart of every thriving organisation is a team whose brain health is a top priority. Recognising that some conditions are beyond modification, we focus on solutions to enhance workplace well-being within these boundaries. Our goal is to help employers implement simple and impactful adjustments, fostering a brain-healthy workplace and promoting the well-being of their employees, crucial for achieving overarching organisational objectives.
Managers
As managers and team leaders, your approach to communication, workload distribution, aligning tasks with employee skills, and more is crucial for fostering a healthy, stimulating work environment. These practices can have a significant impact on stress, well-being, and levels of cognitive engagement among team members. We offer targeted guidance for managers to nurture their team’s brain health, leading to a more effective and resilient workforce.
Employees
GetBrainHealthy empowers employees with the knowledge to embrace a brain-healthy lifestyle at work and beyond. Through a collection of bite-sized, evidence-based actions, the tool is designed to guide employees in identifying and making small, manageable changes that can improve their brain health.
Employee Wellbeing Solutions
Employee wellbeing solutions play a crucial role in amplifying brain health awareness and action within workplaces. By integrating brain health into their existing mental health and wellbeing frameworks, these companies can foster a more holistic approach to employee wellness, encouraging practices that support cognitive function and overall mental fitness.
The role of managers in empowering brain-healthy actions
Managers play a crucial role in promoting brain health at work by shaping a culture that values and supports healthy behaviours. They not only oversee but also create an environment that encourages employees to adopt a brain-healthy lifestyle. Importantly, empowering employees to engage in brain-healthy actions does not necessarily require substantial time or effort; even small changes can lead to meaningful improvements in the workplace’s collective brain health.
The GetBrainHealthy Tool offers specific actions for managers designed to empower them to cultivate a brain-healthy team environment. Keep an eye out for actions specifically highlighted for managers.
