Good practices and interventions that promote and protect mental health in the workplace include:
Mental health interventions should be provided as part of an integrated health and well-being strategy that covers prevention, early identification, support, and rehabilitation. At My Occ Health we can support you in introducing these interventions where they are available, but even when they aren’t, multiple changes can be made that can protect and promote mental health.
Businesses have an important responsibility to support employees with mental disorders in either continuing or returning to work after an absence. Research has shown that unemployment, particularly long-term unemployment, can have a negative impact on mental health.
A lot of the initiatives outlined above could help workers with mental disorders. We can help you promote positive mental health services, ensuring good dynamics in the workplace as well as increased productivity.
My Occ Health provides remote mental health services nationwide through our experienced panel of NCS, UKCP and BACP accredited counsellors.
We recognise that if employees feel encouraged to discuss their challenges, and supported when times are hard, they will feel more valued and take less time off. They are also more likely to feel incentivised to remain with the company than to seek opportunities elsewhere.
