A Toolkit for employers in the UK to develop and embed best practice in workplace mental health.
Created in collaboration between Mindful Employer and the Leeds Mindful Employer Network, The Mentally Healthy Workplace Toolkit is a series of steps – which can be tackled in any order – to help employers across the UK have a positive approach towards mental health at work.
Make mental health an organisational priority through committed leadership, inclusive policies, workforce involvement, open communication and a clear plan for action.
Create fair, safe and supportive working conditions by managing workloads, enabling flexibility, reducing workplace risks and designing jobs that support mental health.
Help people stay well and access the right support through good management, self-care, peer connection, workplace adjustments and clear support pathways.
