At Fleetmaxx Solutions, the fuel and fleet cost reduction specialists, our commitment to excellence extends beyond providing top-notch fleet products and unparalleled customer service. We are dedicated to the well-being of our team members, understanding that a healthy workplace is the foundation of a successful business. To reinforce this commitment, Sue Florence (Director), Mark Checksfield (Operations Manager), and Adam Winchcombe (Sales Manager) recently attended a two-day Mental Health First Aid course delivered by St John Ambulance.

Mental health first aid: a crucial investment for Fleetmaxx
The management team at Fleetmaxx Solutions believes that mental health is a critical aspect of the overall well-being of our teams, and addressing it in the workplace is essential. That is why we selected the Mental Health First Aid course provided by St John Ambulance, which equips participants with the skills and knowledge needed to support colleagues facing mental health challenges. Upon completion, our team members received the FutureQuals Level 3 Award in Mental Health: Workplace First Aider qualification. This certification empowers the Fleetmaxx team to identify and assist those in need of mental health support within our organisation.

Key takeaways for Fleetmaxx from the course
The two-day intensive course covered several vital areas:

Understanding mental health: Participants gained a comprehensive understanding of mental health and the various factors that can affect well-being.

Recognising signs and triggers: The course provided practical skills to identify the signs and triggers of mental illness, enabling timely and effective intervention.

Physical first aid knowledge: In addition to mental health support, Sue, Mark and Adam learned how to perform some physical first aid as part of their response to mental health crises.

Building confidence: Our team members now have the confidence to step in, reassure, and support a person in distress, fostering a supportive work environment.

Implementing adjustments: The training covered how to implement reasonable mental health adjustments when an individual returns to work, ensuring a smooth transition.

Promoting a positive culture: Finally, the course emphasised creating a positive mental health culture in the workplace, which is crucial for long-term well-being and productivity for Fleetmaxx staff.
