Mental Health Wellbeing Champions

The wellbeing of our employees is of utmost importance and so we recently provided training for all of our Management Team to become Mental Health Wellbeing Champions.

Working alongside our two qualified Mental Health First Aiders, our Mental Health Wellbeing Champions are leading the way to ensure a healthy, positive workplace culture. We have signposted and shared contact details of the team members who are trained to provide peer support. They can be contacted confidentially to be a listening ear and guide colleagues to external sources of support. We also encourage open communication via our Suggestion Box and ask for staff ideas and feedback in surveys throughout the year. 

We also recognise the importance of World Mental Health Day each year and try to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health by making it an event in our company social calendar. In October we collaborated with our local leisure centre to provide a free one day pass for our employees to enjoy, as we know that physical activity can really benefit mental health. We have also organised company wide lunches and encouraged our staff to spend time talking to each other over a shared lunch and raised money for the Mental Health Foundation.

The health and wellbeing of our employees will always be a top priority for us and we will continue to be innovative in the support we can provide. ​
