Workplace Wellbeing 

Every business and employee has been affected by the current pandemic and so we have developed some exciting ways that we can help you successfully ride the storm and come through stronger and more resilient.  To ensure your workplace is a place where people feel supported, educated and informed we can help you with:

• Workplace Wellbeing Planning – reviewing your current HR practices and advising on improvements, producing policies, improving employee engagement and communication, formation of wellbeing groups and initiatives.
• Creating a culture of wellbeing through development of the Investors in People and other Awards. Creating opportunities for volunteering with local charities and developing your Corporate Social Responsibility.

Management Consultancy & Business Support

Whether you need to update your business plan or conduct a survey we can help. Our flexible approach means that we will design the solution around your needs.  Examples of our work include:

• Running a business visioning day and developing a business plan with a small team running a busy community interest company.
• Producing a partnership agreement for the successful collobration of a corporate sponsor and a local charity
• Producing a customer satisfaction survey and suggesting improvements to current monitoring methods of a sole trader consultancy business
• Delivering a large scale review of an entire outcomes framework and the bespoke design of a new outcomes tool for a public sector emergency organisation

Our coaching provides managers the space and time to reflect on the way that they communicate and support their teams. 

We can also work with employees who are experiencing challenges and need to learn new ways to manage their mental wellbeing. 

In 2021 we will be launching our first Virtual Training Course called Inspired to Achieve.  

Inspired to Achieve 

The Inspired to Achieve Program utilises a solution focused approach which empowers women to make informed and positive choices regarding their situation and potential business opportunities. 

Inspired to Achieve is for female business owners, or those looking to start their business journey and is designed to overcome the barriers to women engaging traditional business support.

MMC recognises that women may have barriers which are gender specific, such as: 

• being responsible for childcare
• the potential stigma of being a women attempting to start / run a new business
• a fear of failure / lack of confidence
• the need to take career breaks due to childbirth
• a lack of financing options
• needing to continue working alongside any new venture development to ensure funds continue
• a lack of female business mentors available.

After an initial discussion, delegates are invited to a free 1-hour introductory taster session with Marsha, ‘Why Not Me’.  Opting to continue with the course then gives access to: 

Three online training modules (pre-recorded sessions) and accompanying worksheets that can be worked through at your own pace. The sessions are entitled:

1. Face the Fear
2. Juggling it All
3. Let’s talk Business

In addition to the workshops you will receive: 

• 6 x 1 hour sessions (1hr) of Coaching with Marsha Miles to help you (develop your) grow your idea and develop your Business Plan (and gain) through 1:1 support

• Lifetime access to a Private “Inspired to Achieve” Facebook group where you can continue to gain peer support from others
