Levelling up: Why mental health is just as important as our physical health
Summary
There is a definite shift in attitudes occurring in workplaces, as employers recognise the business impact of mental health and wellbeing issues. Wellbeing in Retail is a guide that acts as both a dip in-and-out resource to help when they like OR a full piece of digital training that can be carried out from start to finish. Retail is the largest private sector employer in the UK and the development of this online guide was inspired by joint research from the John Lewis Partnership, Marks & Spencer, the Co-op and Next, which revealed that over 50% of the 2,000 retail workers who responded could not recognise the signs of someone needing emotional support, and around 25% would not feel confident approaching an upset colleague. I found the most value in Amy McKeown and Claire Douglas’ session What good looks like: How to produce, implement and communicate a mental health at work plan. In the same way that learning interventions should ideally be delivered as a campaign where key messages, reminders and activities are tied into every day working life, so too should mental health plans.
