Turning Commitment into Everyday Action
The Challenge
Levi Solicitors recognised that creating a mentally healthy workplace requires more than good intentions. The organisation wanted to demonstrate to colleagues that supporting mental health was a genuine priority through visible actions, continued investment and a culture where wellbeing remained a priority over time.
Approach in practice
Levi Solicitors has demonstrated its commitment to mental health through continued investment in people, learning and workplace wellbeing. The organisation has invested in Mental Health First Aid training, regular mental health learning opportunities and suicide prevention training to build confidence and strengthen the support available to colleagues.
Alongside this, Levi Solicitors continues to engage with the Leeds Mindful Employer Network, using training, events and shared learning to learn from other employers and continually strengthen its own approach to workplace wellbeing. Rather than viewing mental health as a one-off initiative, the organisation is committed to continuously developing its wellbeing offer, building on new ideas and good practice to ensure colleagues receive the support they need.
This commitment is reflected in everyday working life. Leaders actively support wellbeing initiatives and create opportunities for colleagues to get involved, while employee feedback helps shape future activity and reinforce the organisation's focus on creating a positive and supportive workplace. By combining ongoing learning, visible investment and a commitment to continuous improvement, Levi Solicitors continues to demonstrate that mental health is an enduring organisational priority.
Impact and learning
Employees have recognised Levi Solicitors' ongoing commitment to wellbeing, highlighting the organisation's continued investment in supporting staff mental health and the positive impact this has had on morale and happiness. Receiving a Mindful Employer of the Quarter Award following an employee nomination further reflected the progress the organisation has made and reinforced the value of continually developing its approach. Levi Solicitors has found that demonstrating commitment through consistent action, ongoing learning and visible investment helps build trust and confidence across the organisation.
Key takeaway for other employers
Demonstrating a commitment to mental health is about more than introducing individual initiatives. Consistently investing in learning, engaging with external networks, listening to colleagues and continually improving your approach helps show that supporting mental health is a genuine organisational priority that is embedded into the culture of the organisation.
