What is the Aviva Line Manager Toolkit: Mental Health?
The Aviva Line Manager Toolkit: Mental Health is available to insured and uninsured line managers as part of an eligible Aviva scheme. It offers video modules and supporting content – all designed by clinicians – to help line managers spot the warning signs of poor mental health, identify reasonable adjustments and manage professional boundaries.
It also gives them the confidence to have supportive conversations with team members, so they can help to address issues before they become more serious.
The Aviva Line Manager Toolkit: Mental Health is available to employees who are permanent residents of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.
This service is a non-contractual benefit Aviva can change or withdraw at any time.
What are the benefits for my business?
Effective mental health support strategies have the potential to improve productivity, employee engagement, reduce absenteeism and help make businesses better places to work. Your managers can use the Aviva Line Manager Toolkit to identify employee behaviours and implement early intervention strategies.
How can the modules support line managers?
Developed by mental health professionals, the Aviva Line Manager Toolkit: Mental Health offers bite-sized videos to help your line managers identify signs and symptoms of poor mental wellbeing among team members, both in the physical and remote work environment. Aviva can help to give your line managers the training they need to help to address mental health issues before they become a bigger problem.
Enables more confident, supportive conversations
The digital Aviva Line Manager Toolkit: Mental Health can help line managers feel more confident in holding appropriate and supportive conversations with team members, so they can help address mental wellbeing concerns before they become more serious.
Helps support employees to stay in work, or return to work successfully
Helping an employee with poor mental health to stay in work or manage a successful return to work after mental health leave is critical. The Aviva Line Manager Toolkit: Mental Health provides key information and guidance for line managers on the reasonable adjustments and adaptations which could be made.
Support your line managers to manage their own mental health needs
Line managers play an important role in supporting your organisation's mental health and wellbeing, but they need to look after themselves too. The Aviva Line Manager Toolkit: Mental Health gives them valuable information on how to manage professional boundaries while supporting their team and how to respond to their own mental health needs. Aviva can help to give them the tools which can help them to stay mentally healthy.
Easy-to-access, self-serve content
Your line managers can 'self-serve' each module at a time that suits them and revisit any time they need to.
