Training
Why Does Your Training Budget Often Fail to Deliver?
Investing in training should lead to immediate, measurable change in managerial confidence and absence rates. If it doesn't, your training is likely suffering from two common and costly flaws:
The Awareness Trap (Knowledge Without Skill)
Generic training tells staff what mental health is, but not how to act. It creates passive knowledge without building the essential, practical skills managers need to intervene confidently.
​
The Irrelevance Tax (Lack of Specificity)
Training uses generic scenarios that feel irrelevant, failing to translate theory into the specific challenges, policies, and culture of your organisation. It doesn't connect the dots to your policy, resources or support options.
​
The result is training that creates knowledge without competence, leaving managers feeling lost when a real crisis hits.
Our Solution: Focused, Framework-Driven Skill Building
At It Could Be Better, we don't just deliver content—we deliver role-specific competence. Our training is engineered for direct, immediate, and positive impact by focusing exclusively on practical application and sustainable follow-through.​
​
The 4-Point Framework: Action for Every Conversation
To maximise engagement and retention, we build all sessions around a consistent, memorable framework that equips every attendee with a clear sequence of actions for every critical conversation.
Notice -
Recognising the subtle signs of concern, stress, or crisis, leading to early, confident identification.​
​
Approach -
Initiating supportive, non-judgmental conversation and understanding the severity of the situation. Developing the ability to de-escalate and accurately risk assessment.
​
Respond -
Knowing the correct, immediate next steps—from informal support to formal referral. Aligning action to policy.
​
Follow Up -
Establishing clear, manageable expectations and knowing how to review progress consistently. Leading to sustainable positive impact.
​​​​
All training is built around a customised, tangible resource that follows this framework. This guide serves as a practical, on-the-job reminder, ensuring that what is taught is consistently used.​​
The 3-Step Customisation Plan (Guaranteeing Relevance)
Every training commission begins with a consultative process to guarantee maximum relevance and impact. We tailor the session not just to your industry, but to your specific internal policies and culture.
Step 1: Identify the Gap
We work with you to define the target audience (Line Managers, HR, General Staff) and pinpoint the exact behavioural changes and risk reduction you need to achieve based on your data.
Step 2: Customise the Content
We tailor the training directly to your group, your objective, and integrate it with your existing internal policies and resources to ensure the training complements, rather than confuses, your staff.
Step 3: Deliver and Embed
We deliver the training and provide lasting, customised resources to ensure the learning is sustained long after the session is over, turning temporary knowledge into permanent competence.
The Benefits (Training That Delivers):
Our structured, customised approach ensures your training budget leads directly to quantifiable business benefits:
​
-
Training That Leads to Impact: Shift from simply raising awareness to building lasting, practical confidence that drives behavioral change.
-
Consistent Risk Mitigation: Ensure every manager follows a standardised, defensible process when handling sensitive issues, reducing legal exposure.
-
Maximise Strategy: Deliver training that directly compliments and embeds your existing mental health policies and clinical strategy.​
