Testimonials
Meritec have been great to work with, professional and quick with their service. The 30-minute awareness course is interactive, personable and provides a general awareness of the importance of looking after your mental health, spotting signs in others & the support networks available. Being able to add Staffordshire specific personalisation (images, branding, wording) makes the course more tailored to our team and customers which we really liked!
Gemma Machin
Equality Officer, Staffordshire FA
Meritec have been great to work with, they listened to our needs and designed a package that works for the charity financially. We have managed to break new ground in sport and to complement our work. The feedback has been massively positive across our different audiences and I would recommend working alongside Meritec again
Dr. Phil Cooper RMN, MBE
Nurse Consultant / Co-founder State of Mind Sport
I would urge every organisation, big or small, to make this course available to its people. Early intervention in a kind and supportive environment is key to prevention and the long term wellbeing of employees. As a mental health practitioner for the past 17 years I have seen many, many people struggle more than they needed to because support and empathy wasn’t available when it most mattered. The truth is, we all need support at some time in our lives. This will go a long way to addressing that and help change perceptions of mental health for the better.

The dichotomy of investing in training and upskilling staff
Having the right balance of skills within your organisation is key, but what happens when you have a skills shortage? How do you cover absences or manage increases in demand? How can you increase your capacity quickly and effectively to manage heavier workloads? Peaks and troughs in demand aren’t unusual, and the key to managing them is proactive planning. But when should you focus on training and upskilling your existing teams, and when should you outsource?
