Mental Health: Top tips to support your colleagues

It’s crucial that businesses prioritise mental health as it affects employees’ wellbeing and productivity. Worryingly, the latest findings by Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England found that a quarter of employees had not received a mental health check-in since the beginning of the pandemic, and 29% of those surveyed said they have never had a conversation with their line manager about mental health. We’ve put together this guide to help all employees, particularly people managers, support their colleague’s mental health.

Learning points:

  • Why businesses should prioritise mental wellbeing
  • Top tips to support your colleagues with their mental health
  • How wellbeing training can help leaders support their teams

Essential Guide to Business Ethics

Business ethics concentrate on the moral or ethical problems that can arise inside a business environment.
