Workplace Mental Health Assessment

Getting started

This site brings together what an employer needs to look honestly at mental health at work: a way to assess the current state of the organization, practical steps to raise awareness and reduce stigma, ideas for building a culture that supports people, and pointers for improving access to care.

Workplace mental health is not only about the people who are unwell at a given moment. Prevention matters as much as response. The same conditions that protect wellbeing – manageable workloads, fair treatment, managers who listen, support that is easy to reach – also lift engagement, performance and retention. Good mental health is not simply the absence of a diagnosis; it is the capacity to do meaningful work, cope with ordinary pressure and recover from the harder weeks.

Employers are well placed to make a difference. Small and large organizations alike can act at two levels: the organization, through policies, benefits and the way work is designed, and the individual, through managers and colleagues who notice and respond. The returns show up in productivity, steadier attendance, lower turnover and, above all, in people who are better able to do their jobs.

The most useful first move is an honest baseline. Our organizational self-check takes about five minutes, then the key areas page turns your weakest scores into a 30-, 60- and 90-day plan, with curated resources for each step.
