MENTAL HEALTH

Staff turnover, sickness and lost productivity resulting from poor mental health cost UK employers £42bn last year.

This reinforces the fact that, in addition to the moral argument for looking after employees’ wellbeing – employers also have a strong financial incentive for doing so.

This standard focuses on all aspects of mental healthy including:-

Give workers information to reduce stigma around mental health
Workers are aware of legal entitlements on working conditions
Workers show mental health and wellbeing are valid and supported at all levels of the organisation
Management training
There is a mental health and wellbeing strategy
Out of work activities

MENTAL HEALTH

Level 1 – has five criteria sections

Level 2 – has two criteria sections

Level 3 – has five criteria sections

There is a natural progression and so you’ll start at Level 1, and once completed you can move on to Level 2, and then Level 3 on each of the eight standards.
