Psychic health is a term describing not only the individual’s psychological well being, but also the effective functioning of the working team and the organization as a whole. Irrespective of whether this refers to an individual or a group of people, the signs of psychic health are the same – happiness, cheerfulness, having responsibility for one’s conduct, acceptance of difficulties as challenges and conscious work on one’s internal development, dynamics, flexibility, open-mindedness, growth, adaptation to changes.

The psychological measures, directed towards improving the psychic health of the firm (organization) include investigation of the working environment and those of its aspects that worry the employer, as well as consultation and training. As a whole these are activities for work with the human factor – the personnel/staff of the given company aimed at optimizing the work interrelations and increasing the staff’s motivation for achieving the company goals.

More precisely what a caring/interested employee could say is:

Motivation training

Directed towards identifying the company’s goals and connecting them with the personal interests and motives of its employees. His aims are to engage the company personnel on a deeper level by the activity they perform and as a result to activate their creativity, loyalty, teamwork and unification around the common goal.

Communication training

It has mainly educational purposes, embracing the whole range of human communication: rules for effective communication and feedback, management of conflict situations, formation of assertive skills (self-assertive conduct), building leadership skills.

Consultation

In case a given problem already exists in the human resources management, the manager can request an expert opinion on the reasons that have caused the specific situation and methods for its remediation.

In reality these different methods of psychological work within the organization are interrelated and entangled. Practically the best way to improve the company’s psychic well being involves a combination of these three elements.
