WHY WE DO IT
Mental health problems affect
1 in 4 people and will soon account
for more lost days at work than all
physical conditions put together.
Under HSE guidelines employers have a responsibility
to manage the risks associated with stress and look for ways
to manage mental health conditions. The HSE supports Lord
Stevenson’s ‘Thriving at Work’ review that indicates ways
organisations can improve mental health in the workplace.
Three key ways we support you to improve
mental health in the workplace:
1. Create a mental health at work plan
2. Promote communications and open conversations,
by raising awareness and reducing stigma
3. Provide a mechanism for monitoring
actions and outcomes
There’s growing evidence that the Coronavirus
pandemic has had a detrimental effect on many
people’s mental health, so even more are
likely to need support.
