Our services under the spotlight

This month, the spotlight’s on our Training and Consultancy Services.

This time in our Spotlight feature, we’re introducing our Disability and Health Training and Consultancy Services, brought to you by our dedicated team who have recently joined us from Health Management.

Newly available to our Medigold Health customers, these services have been developed to help you successfully cultivate and support a truly diverse workforce, by equipping your teams with the knowledge, practical skills, strategies and confidence they need to be able to support disability, health and mental wellbeing effectively within your workplace.

What we offer

Training Programmes

Our comprehensive range of training programmes provide a safe and open environment for your people to discuss disability, health and mental health, challenge mindsets. and develop the confidence, tools and techniques to promote and engender positive behaviour change.

Designed in line with Training Accreditation Programme (TAP) methodology (the industry recognised standard), all our programmes are skills based and structured to ensure that learning is embedded and that learners are directly engaged in the experience, whether delivered face to face or online.

The programmes are centred around three core areas:

Mental Health

• All colleague- and manager/ HR-targeted programmes on topics including personal resilience, mental wellbeing in the workplace and stress management

» Health & Wellbeing Champion and Ambassador programmes

» Nationally recognised and accredited programmes in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) and Suicide First Aid

Disability and Health

• Neurodiversity awareness and disability awareness

• Supporting employees with long Covid

• Menopause in the workplace

• Driver health

• Promoting better health

Supported Employment

Bitesize learning and supporting resources

In addition to our full courses, we also offer interactive ‘bitesize’ learning sessions. These can be accessed as standalone sessions or used to compliment learning from our training programmes, alongside a range of supporting resources including pre-recorded webinars, fact sheets and toolkits.

Consultancy

Our consultancy service aims to help you develop a clear strategy on disability, diversity, health and wellbeing and support you to achieve your organisational objectives.

Organisational assessments and tailored learning solutions

Our assessments provide a great snapshot of your organisation, to help you understand what you are currently doing well and where there is scope for improvement. We will help you to carry out a thorough review of all aspects of your business through a ‘disability lens’, from your general policies and procedures to your recruitment and onboarding processes and development opportunities. This may include running pulse surveys, conducting 1:1 interviews with employees, or organising focus group discussions with disabled colleagues, managers and senior leadership.

Based on the results, we can then support you in designing, building and delivering a bespoke, blended learning programme that’s tailored to the specific challenges and needs within your business.

Disability confident assessments and validation

Our expert team can provide you with advice and practical support to help you achieve Disability Confident accreditation, whichever level of the scheme you are working towards, from offering guidance on collecting required evidence to drawing up action plans and assisting with completing paperwork.
