Keeping Minds Safe: From Reactive Schemes to Proactive Culture, With Ghitta Basson

Keeping Minds Safe: From Reactive Schemes to Proactive Culture, With Ghitta Basson

You can't build a high-performing team on a foundation of silence and stress. With mental health challenges affecting every level of the workforce, it's time to treat wellbeing as a leadership priority. I speak with Ghitta Basson, founder of Rewind Your Mind, about practical ways to embed a proactive mental health culture into the heart of your organisation.

From understanding why current systems fall short, to implementing clear, actionable strategies that build trust and engagement, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone serious about safety, wellbeing, and performance.

Highlights

  • EAP usage remains low: Only 2–5% of employees engage with these services
  • Stigma creates silence: Many fear being judged or deemed unfit for work
  • Suicide in construction: Two men take their own lives each day in the UK sector
  • Support must be seen: First aiders need visibility, structure, and active roles
  • Supervisors are key: Line managers often spot issues before anyone else
  • Spot the early signs: Behavioural changes can reveal deeper issues
  • Build trust through presence: Relationships drive engagement more than posters
  • Embed mental health in daily rhythm: Use toolbox talks to open conversations
