On the day we remember that mental health is an issues to affect the whole of humankind, employers, employees and their Trade Unions that show they care about the issues surrounding mental health and recognise that 1 in 4 people will at some point in their lives suffer from some form of mental health illness.
Royal Mail Group has placed on their Intranet Site the statement below:
‘To support World Mental Health Day (10 October), RMG has launched a joint initiative with CWU and Unite CMA to support colleagues in talking about and managing stress and mental wellbeing in the workplace.
The aim is to create a working environment where colleagues can come forward and talk about their concerns.
New guidance is being launched to enable colleagues to have positive conversations about mental wellbeing. A simple 'How are you?' can start a conversation to help identify potential areas of need and support.
To support this, RMG is launching a new Online Stress Risk Assessment Tool to help all colleagues understand their own stress levels as well as assess overall wellbeing in areas such as fitness, diet and sleep. This is part of a series of initiatives RMG has launched through the Feeling First Class wellbeing programme.
Judith Grant, RM Group Head of Occupational Health and Wellbeing, said:
"We want to recognise when employees are experiencing stress and help them to identify and address their concerns. Our new stress guidance, designed jointly with the CWU and Unite CMA, is a supportive approach to prevent and manage stress, and enable people to keep doing the jobs they love."
This website's E-Library Database contains over 30 documents on mental health in general with some 37 documents on stress alone. You can search the database for documents to download using subject category 'Stress' and/or Mental Health'
