Why does a business need to train their staff in Mental Health? Is it mandatory?

 

Mental Health is coming to the forefront for need of training for businesses who employ staff in all industries.

 

HSE Guidance states "Whether work is causing the health issue or aggravating it, employers have a legal responsibility to help their employees. Work-related mental health issues must to be assessed to measure the levels of risk to staff."

 

To improve your staff attendance and ensure your staff feel supported around their mental health, can enable them to continue to carry out their duties without absence.

Without a doubt, the pandemic has significantly changed the way we all work. With such a high percentage of people now hybrid working, it is clear that working from home is here to stay for the foreseeable future. This is why it is important that businesses adapt their mental health and wellbeing support systems so that they continue to cater for everyone regardless of where they work.

 

Training up members of staff to create more awareness and giving them the tools they need to recognise and support staff with their mental health will benefit all parties.
