Xpan and Hatch recognized for Creative Excellence in Mental Wellness Learning Solution
Menu
Hatch and Xpan Interactive Ltd. were recognized with Silver awards in the 2022 Horizon Interactive Awards and 2023 MUSE Creative and Design Awards competitions for excellence in the Website – Training/E-learning category. The winning entry is titled Mental Wellness and Resiliency at Hatch and is listed on both Horizon and Muse’s award pages.
Hatch is committed to the pursuit of a better world through positive change, as illustrated by their organizational mission to achieve no harm. Navigating through the challenges presented by COVID-19, Hatch and Xpan prioritized creating a learning solution to support the wellbeing of Hatch employees, visitors, and contractors. The Mental Wellness and Resiliency (MWR) course was designed in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic to provide learners with strategies and practices they can engage in to strengthen their mental resilience for improved mental wellness.
The MWR course presents theoretical and practical approaches to mental wellness and resiliency that equip learners with tools to care for their wellbeing. The theoretical approach explains the mental health continuum and identifies the signs and symptoms of common mental health disorders and the barriers that stop us from seeking help. The course also provides information on where to find support within Hatch and the learner’s community. The practical approach focuses on wellness activities such as mindfulness exercises, awareness techniques, and self-reflection opportunities in application scenarios. The visual approach includes unique illustrations within animated videos, accessible language formats, and vibrant displays of detailed learning takeaways. In addition to an engaging learner experience during the course, reference guides are available and create a sustainable learning approach for championing continuous improvement of wellness and resiliency skills for our learners.
“We continue to be grateful for our award-winning collaboration with Hatch and their forward thinking approach to the psychological safety of their people,” says Ron Thiele, President and Founder of Xpan. “The attitudes, skills, and behaviours presented in the MWR course are not only aligned with Hatch values, but are key life skills we are proud to champion within their global community.”
“Mental wellness and psychological safety are critically important for project team development within our organization,” says Dan Welshons, Global Director, Health & Safety at Hatch. “Xpan truly understands our vision for a people-centric safety culture. We’re proud to creatively share mental wellness best practices, and our learners are keen to apply them as we actively pursue our goal of achieving no harm.”
