Ways to support mental health

Posted By



Creating a workplace environment where people can be themselves and can access the support they need can prevent stress from escalating into more serious mental health issues. This will help your workers to be happier, healthier, and in the long term, more productive for your company.

As well as a legal duty to adjust for workers with long-term mental health illness, businesses have a moral duty to ensure that as many people as possible stay in work despite mental health issues.

The following tactics can help:
• Offering flexible working
• Creating quiet places at work
• Mental health counselling
• Promoting mental well-being
• Educating employees to break down any stigma of mental health

    In my experience, creating a supportive workplace environment for mental health involves both policy and culture. Flexible working hours or remote work options can be a game-changer for many. Also, having designated quiet spaces can give people a chance to recharge. I've seen mental health first aid training make a real difference too, helping colleagues better understand and support each other.
