mental health and well<br />

being in a changed world<br />

by Helen Jones<br />

I have written previously about<br />

mental health in the workplace<br />

and how to recognise and support<br />

colleagues who may be struggling<br />

but now it is more important than<br />

ever. A recent study discovered that<br />

67% of companies expect working from home to be<br />

permanent or long lasting.<br />

The benefits of doing so have been well documented<br />

during the pandemic but we must also recognise that<br />

it leads many to a dark place. The Zero Suicide Alliance<br />

reported that over half a million people had accessed<br />

their online course in a three week period at the<br />

beginning of lockdown.<br />

Working from home does create a bit of a bubble so it’s<br />

vital to reach out to others and to humanise everyday<br />

contact. Employers must invest more than ever before<br />

in meeting their employee’s mental health needs.<br />

• Understand what they are going through and the<br />

factors affecting their well-being<br />

• Guide them towards the appropriate counselling or<br />

therapy where necessary<br />

• Be flexible in terms of working hours and environment<br />

– coronaphobia is a reality for many<br />

• Use personal development as a tool to increase<br />

confidence and a healthier mindset<br />

• Supporting lone homeworkers and checking in on<br />

them regularly to make sure they are okay<br />

The nature of our business means that we have<br />

been supporting our temps and contractors out on<br />

assignment for many years. We are proud of our open<br />

door policy where we offer help and guidance to all<br />

workers whether you’re here in Nottingham or working<br />

for us in London.<br />

The following organisations are an excellent source of<br />

information if you need assistance or advice relating to<br />

mental health and/or wellbeing:<br />
