Manchester Mind has signed the Mental Health at Work Commitment as we want to declare publicly that mental health is a priority for us and our teams, just as much as we prioritise the mental health and wellbeing of those we support.
By signing the commitment, along with our embedded values, we wish to lead the way in creating an excellent workplace culture.
The 6 standards
6 clear standards based on what best practice to create an environment where employees can thrive.
Standard 1: Prioritise mental health in the workplace by developing and delivering a systematic programme of activity.
Standard 2: Proactively ensure work design and organisational culture drive positive mental health outcomes.
Standard 3: Promote an open culture around mental health.
Standard 4: Increase organisational confidence and capability.
Standard 5: Provide mental health tools and support.
Standard 6: Increase transparency and accountability through internal and external reporting.
Each standard has a set of actions that help you achieve the commitment.
Learn more about the standards and actions. We also talk about these on our Managers training if you want to learn more.
