Time To Talk Day | The importance of discussing mental health at work

Every HR leader worth their salt knows the importance of mental health and wellbeing in the workplace.

Indeed, 75% of HR professionals view supporting employees’ mental health and wellbeing as a key focus for 2023, with stress, anxiety and depression all being exacerbated by global events like the cost-of-living crisis.

And while it should always be at the forefront of a company’s people agenda, today provides an opportunity for leaders to focus more on how they’re supporting the mental health of their employees.

Time To Talk Day, billed as “the nation’s biggest mental health conversation”, is an initiative led by Mind in partnership with the Co-op with the aim of breaking the social stigma of speaking about own mental health – whether that is at home or in the office.
