World Mental Health Day – 10th October: Managers & HR’s Role in Supporting Teams

World Mental Health Day is marked every year on 10th October, raising awareness of the importance of mental health in the workplace.

Research by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) shows that stress, depression, and anxiety account for over half of all work-related ill health cases in the UK.

Employers have a legal duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to protect their employees’ wellbeing. Proactive HR can help by:

  • Implementing mental health policies

  • Training managers to spot early signs of stress

  • Offering Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)

  • Promoting open conversations about wellbeing

Comment from Matthew Chilcott – Owner:
“Mental health is just as important as physical health. At Consensus HR, we help businesses create positive workplace cultures where people feel supported. This reduces absence, improves performance, and shows your team that you genuinely care.”

🌍 World Health Day – 7th April 2025

Supporting Employee Wellbeing at Work
By Matthew Chilcott – Owner, Consensus HR

Every year on 7th April, World Health Day is celebrated across the globe to raise awareness of important health issues. At Consensus HR, we believe this is a great reminder for businesses to reflect on how they support the health and wellbeing of their teams.

Why does employee health matter?

Healthy employees are happier, more productive, and more engaged. Looking after the physical and mental health of your team is not just the right thing to do – it’s also good for business. A strong approach to employee wellbeing helps to reduce absenteeism, improve morale, and build a positive workplace culture.

The role of Businesses, Managers & HR in promoting wellbeing:

As business professionals, we work with businesses to create and implement policies that support both the mental health and physical health of employees. This includes:

  • Providing access to Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)
  • Promoting flexible working arrangements
  • Conducting regular wellbeing check-ins
  • Ensuring managers are trained to spot signs of stress and burnout
  • Having clear, supportive absence management and occupational health procedures

Matthew Chilcott, Owner, says:

“World Health Day reminds us that our people are our most valuable asset. At Consensus HR, we work with companies to develop tailored HR solutions that support wellbeing and encourage a culture where health, in all its forms, is a priority. We help our clients reduce people problems before they become serious issues.”

A few ways to support health in your business today:

  • Encourage employees to take regular breaks
  • Promote open conversations about mental health
  • Offer healthy snacks in the workplace
  • Arrange walking meetings or lunchtime activities
  • Review and update your health and safety policies
