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 />
