World Mental Health Day Highlights An Important Issue

Source: Health & Safety Executive (HSE)

The 10th of October was World Mental Health Day, and employers should remember that mental health problems can affect anyone, on any day of the year.

HSE’s website has guidance on mental health in the workplace.

There is also guidance on how line managers can support employees and the site also provides advice for employees with mental health conditions.

Over 11 million days are lost at work a year because of stress-related illness at work. 

You can download or buy HSE’s step-by-step workbook, which shows how the Management Standards approach will help employers tackle work-related stress.
