How you can support your employees' mental health
Mental health should be a priority for businesses throughout the year, not just during a designated week.
However, World Mental Health Week provides us with a valuable opportunity to reflect on our well-being and that of our colleagues.
The statistics surrounding mental health are astonishing. In 2023, mental health services in Britain received an unprecedented 5 million referrals, and the number of children and young people in contact with mental health services has skyrocketed by 353% since April 2016, according to The British Medical Association.
Despite these challenges, there is an opportunity for positive change. A supportive workplace environment can lead to employees feel valued, supported, and understood, which can then increase productivity, creativity, and collaboration.
So, how can small to medium-sized businesses support employee mental health?
