Just a few things I  seen that work well to support mental health in our business : 

As a leader, I have set up a culture that supports staff to be open about mental health.  Educating the team that being open leads to support not discrimination or  being judged which is the fear of many.  

I have to lead by example, one of them being a person with a positive mentality.  I listen to people and this encourages staff to do the same.  

Being approachable helps people to open up.

Having one to one catch up meetings.

I consider good communication as paramount and therefore we embedded this as one of our company culture.   Making assumptions can lead to bias and misconception of facts therefore discouraging people from opening up.

Amongst others we have zero tolerance of bullying others or gaslighting which can make people develop fear to speak up.

We also promote mental well being by offering flexible working.

We  have the action plan where we are aware of someone having mental health issues example anxiety or stress.

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.
