Reading this guide might be the start of your journey towards better mental health in your workplace. You may have already made some progress and are looking to do more. Whichever stage you are at, we can help.
Our aim is to support a million people to stay well and have good mental health at work. In order to help organisations to create mentally healthy workplaces for their employees, we are launching our Workplace Wellbeing Index.
The Workplace Wellbeing Index is our benchmark of best policy and practice, designed to celebrate the good work organisations are doing to support the mental wellbeing of employees, and provide the guidance needed to do more.
Signing up to the Index is the first step of your commitment to a better way of working - for the success and productivity of your organisation as a whole and for each person you employ. By positively managing and supporting employees’ mental wellbeing, employers can ensure that staff perform to their potential – and this allows the business to achieve peak performance.
