Mental Health

It is vital that businesses address the issue of mental health head on, developing a sophisticated mental wellness strategy to fulfil duty of care responsibilities and help employees with their mental health resilience. Beyond the obvious positives implementing these strategies would have for employees, businesses have a direct interest in investing in creating a mental wellness program; according to data from International SOS’ recent Risk Outlook 2021. 1 in 3 risk professionals believe that mental health issues contribute significantly to declining productivity levels. A business that supports employees appropriately will therefore likely be in a better, more productive place than one that does not.

Below are some key tips businesses should look to implement to promote resilience, helping their employees deal with any potential mental health issues:

1.Take steps to check in individually with every employee

2. Make sure people have and are aware of secure routes for reporting their mental health issues

3. Allow and encourage employees to take breaks

4. Consider the information employees are receiving

5. Provide employees with the tools to help them, understanding the level of personal responsibility which must be encouraged
