Support Services - Strengthening Inclusivity & Well-being
Building Inclusive Workplaces for Diverse Religious and Cultural Needs
At M-IFS, we go beyond accreditation, building inclusive workplaces for diverse religious and cultural needs one accreditation at a time.
M-IFS provides optional services to help organisations enhance inclusivity for diverse religious and cultural needs in the workplace. These include mental health support, workshops, and strategic guidance. M-IFS offers optional, culturally sensitive counselling services delivered by qualified professionals. These services are independent of the M-IFS certification process and do not influence accreditation outcomes. Where appropriate, we may also refer organisations to trusted external partners specialising in inclusive Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs).
Faith-Based Mental Health & Well-being Support
Mental Health & Well-being Support for Diverse Needs Because Mental Well-being is Workplace Well-being
Many employees with diverse religious and cultural needs face unique challenges that affect their mental health, from workplace discrimination to barriers in practicing their beliefs freely. These challenges often lead to stress, anxiety, isolation, and lower productivity.

Our mental health services offer confidential, culturally sensitive support, delivered by qualified professionals within M-IFS. Additionally, we can connect organisations with external providers specialising in inclusive Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) tailored to diverse needs.

Optional well-being services, including counselling by qualified professionals, are available to support organisations. These services are separate from the certification process and do not affect accreditation.
Well-being Awareness Workshops (External)
Employers seeking to raise awareness of mental well-being and inclusive support practices for diverse religious and cultural needs may benefit from external workshops run by independent facilitators. While M-IFS offers a range of internal workshops focused on inclusivity and mental well-being for diverse needs, we can also connect organisations with external partners for additional specialised training upon request.
Participation in these workshops does not influence M-IFS assessment results
Employees who feel supported in their diverse religious and cultural needs and mental well-being are more engaged, productive, and committed to their organisation.
