Just on mental health and wellbeing

As this is Mental Health Awareness week we thought we would pull together some of our recent articles on wellbeing in the workplace.

According to MIND, 1 in 4 people will suffer from Mental Health issues. Although there has been no growth in that number over the past decade it does appear that the way people deal with it is getting worse. According to research, the instances of self-harming and suicide have increased.

This is recognised as a major societal issue but it is also an issue for employers. Mental health and wellbeing of employees is as important as their physical wellbeing. Many organisations provide subsidised gym membership for workers to encourage physical health. Not so many have addressed mental health.

At Just Recruitment we introduced Just Extra™ a voluntary benefits package for all our workers, including Temps. Part of this package includes access to on-line information regarding Mental health issues. It’s not a complete solution but it’s a start.

More importantly we foster a culture of openness and sharing, every employee has regular meetings with the HR professionals and their managers. We recognise that the our most valuable assets are our colleagues.
