Benefits of taking part in One Foot Forward
Register your workplace for One Foot Forward and you'll engage your staff, improve employee health and wellbeing, stay connected and become part of the conversation around mental health in the workplace.
Engaging your staff.
Invite your organisation to come together this October and take part in something new and exciting. Together, they'll become part of the mental health community, have fun with colleagues and challenge each other.
Improving employee health and wellbeing, by encouraging your staff to get up and walking!
The last year has been exceptionally hard on individual mental health, and physical exercise is so important to staying happy, healthy and positive! Your staff will love doing something that makes them feel great.
Become part of the conversation around mental health in the workplace.
Mental illness costs the Australian economy $12billion per year in reduced productivity and sickness related to mental health issues. Taking part in One Foot Forward is a fantastic way to change the conversation and encourage your staff to take their mental health seriously.
Keeping your team connected even while working from afar!
While much of Australia is still working from home, it's so important to keep your staff communicating and connected. Taking part in shared challenge is a great way to do this!
You'll be helping create a mentally healthier world, for everyone.
The funds you raise will support crucial mental health research to put ground-breaking new mental health treatment, education and digital services into the hands of the people who need them the most.
