Keeping Well at Work

Everybody responds differently to the stresses and strains of modern life. We all need and, to a degree, thrive on pressure: it gives us energy, helps with performance, and inspires confidence. But excessive pressure can lead to stress. Stress may become a problem when someone feels they don’t have the resources to cope with the demands placed upon them. Harmful levels of stress can lead to a mental health condition such as anxiety or depression. 1 in 4 people experience mental ill-health at some point in their life.

Employers have an important role in improving work-life balance and it is generally recognised that work is good for health and wellbeing. But for many, ‘work’ means overcoming obstacles, excessive expectations, and challenging colleagues. For others, though, the causes of stress, anxiety or depression may not be work-related: with difficulties such as bereavement, finance, relationship breakdown, family issues, etc causing problems. Indeed, non-work-related stress, anxiety, and depression cause more sickness absence than work-related difficulties. At such times, work may be the ‘safe place’: the place where there is support and fulfilment.

Our Commitment as an Employer

The Mindful Employer initiative aims to help empower employers to take a lead in supporting the mental wellbeing of their staff. By signing the ‘Charter for Employer Positive About Mental Health’, we have made a public statement of our desire to support the mental health of our staff across the  organisation.

As an employer, we recognise that in the UK, people experiencing mental ill-health continue to report stigma and discrimination at work. Having signed the ‘Charter for Employers Positive about Mental Health’ with Mindful Employer we are committed to creating a supportive and open culture, where colleagues feel able to talk about mental health confidently, and aspire to appropriately support the mental wellbeing of all staff.

As an employer, we have made an ongoing commitment to:

• Provide non-judgemental and proactive support to staff experiencing mental ill-health
• Not make assumptions about a person with a mental health condition and their ability to work
• Be positive and enabling towards all employees and job applicants with a mental health condition
• Support line managers in managing mental health in the workplace
• Ensure we are fair in the recruitment of new staff in accordance with the Equality Act (2010)
