World Mental Health Day | Expert tips from Unmind and Koa Health for supporting your staff's mental wellbeing

Tuesday October 10 2023 marks World Mental Health Day.

Organised by the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH), the day seeks to raise awareness about mental health around the world. 

The theme of World Mental Health Day 2023 is 'Mental Health is a universal human right'.

Mental health can impact friends, family and colleagues meaning that for HR and employers, supporting staff will continue to be a top priority. In line with World Mental Health Day 2023, HR Grapevine caught up with Dr Oliver Harrison, CEO and co-founder of Koa Health, and Dr Nick Taylor, CEO of Unmind, to find out where HR’s attention should be focussed, the impact that poor mental health can have on staff and the business, and how to ensure that mental health services are being fully utilised by the workforce.
