Why we created this guide
In over 20 years of workplace psychology, we’ve found that mental health is the area where managers feel the most unprepared.
Even seasoned leaders can be unsure about what’s legally required, ethically appropriate, and practically effective.
To make the situation more complicated, these issues don’t just affect one employee - they ripple across the team, performance outcomes, and ultimately, your business success.
That’s why we created this free step-by-step guide. It gives you a clear, actionable framework to handle tough conversations with confidence.
Client Success Story
Transforming Safety in Steelmaking
Resilience Health was engaged to transform the safety leadership of Bluescope - a global leader in steel manufacturing with operations spanning North America, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands, and Asia.
While Bluescope had a strong commitment to health and safety, their legacy approach focused on compliance-driven strategies and controlling worker behaviour. This limited their ability to proactively manage risk and build a culture of learning.
We worked closely with Bluescope to design a custom program that transformed their culture - emphasising systems thinking, adaptability, and worker engagement.
The results were profound, unlocking measurable results in cultural and operational improvements:
-
Psychological safety increased across teams
-
Leaders at all levels embraced safety beyond procedural compliance
-
A culture of resilience and operational innovation was embedded
By partnering with Resilience Health, Bluescope unlocked a safer, more adaptive, and forward-thinking workplace culture.
A program like this is overdue. If I had an opportunity to participate as a new branch manager, it would have eased the transition into the safety culture of our business and assisted significantly in managing the systems, language and approach to the Branch Manager role.
