How to ensure a mentally healthy workplace is at the front of every HR Director’s mind.
A few months ago we wrote an article about this subject and since then it’s becoming even more widely discussed.
Today, Hays Group, issued a new article with 9 ways for how to ensure a mentally healthy workplace. This backs up many of the points made in another article we spotted which is a guide to what to do next.
Mental Health and Wellness is as important, if not more important, in the overall compensation a member of staff receives for the work they do. We should all, in Mindful businesses, be considering how we support our staff from all perspectives, and especially through the most difficult times.

An interesting read in the context of Mental Health Awareness Week. My company have also recognised the importance of this by offering mental health awareness training to all our management as referenced in point four of the article from Hays. Great that more and more organisations are seeing the benefits of steps such as this!
Mental health is such a popular topic at the moment, and so it should be. If companies want to get the best out of their staff, they need to support them in all aspects of their working life. Here we have trained mental health first aid staff, images of which are posted around the building the same as a fire warden or first aider would be.
This is a topic that is being discussed a lot where I work and you can see that it is something being taken very seriously at lat. We had posters in our kitchens recently encouraging us to keep an eye out for any colleagues that may be struggling and take them somewhere quiet for a cup of tea and a biscuit and just have a chat with them. We’re being asked to be mindful of those around us and to reach out to others. I think this has been a long time coming and I’m so glad our organisation is taking it seriously, I hope others will too.
