Mental Health and Wellbeing

Mental Health and Wellbeing is a core area for employers to consider. Employers are legally liable for the welfare of their staff and must have in place policies and practices to support their staff. This ranges from undertaking work based risk assessments, ensuring managers are skilled to spot the signs of staff in difficulty, subscribing to Employee Assistance Services and, crucially, training key colleagues in First Aid for Mental Health. Mental Health and Wellbeing at work is not just a ' nice to do' it's an essential part of compliant employment practice.
