Today, we are sharing the recording and insights paper following our recent panel discussion which focused on the question: How to Build a Mentally Healthy Workplace: What works?
On 11 March, Alison Unsted, CEO of MindForward Alliance chaired a discussion that brought together experts and business leaders to share insights and practical solutions.
Contributors included Sarah Cunningham, Managing Director, World Wellbeing Movement; Dr Will Fleming, Research Fellow at the Wellbeing Research Centre, University of Oxford; Toni Graves, Global Head of Reward, Benefits & Wellbeing, A&O Shearman and Vicki Broadhurst, Chief Inclusion, Culture and Wellbeing Officer, PwC. The panel focused on a wide range of areas, including:
- Why workplace mental health should be a business priority
- What is the most successful approach to workplace mental wellbeing
- How do leaders help to create a psychologically safe culture and challenge stigma
- How businesses can support people managers to support employee wellbeing
- How to measure employee wellbeing to shape your workplace mental health approach
- How to roll out workplace mental health strategy across international offices
- What challenges remain
Alison Unsted, CEO of MindForward Alliance, said:
“Poor employee mental health is a challenge for pretty much every business. We know that depression and anxiety alone result in 12 billion lost working days globally, costing $1 trillion in lost productivity. We know there were a lot of organisations who recognise the challenge and want to get workplace mental health right – for the good of their people and their business. So it was encouraging to see that over 540 HR, business and wellbeing leaders from across the world registered for this event.”
