Supporting World Mental Health Day

Supporting our colleagues’ mental health is embedded into our culture; although it is great to have days that highlight the importance of mental health, we must ensure it is embedded and thought about 365 days of the year.

One of our five values is “Supportiveness” as we want all our colleagues to show empathy and look out for each other. This is further embedded by our mental health at work commitment, mental health training for all our colleagues, a dedicated mental health internal website, and policies that encourage people to put their wellbeing first.

Nicki Pritchard, Managing Partner at AQ, shared some simple policies we have adopted to improve mental health in the workplace with IFA Magazine earlier this year, which may be interesting for you to reflect on this World Mental Health Day: https://ifamagazine.com/simple-policies-to-improve-mental-health-in-the-workplace/
