On World Mental Health Day the CIPD share a managers guide to supporting staff with their mental health.

This revised mental health guide for managers was jointly developed by mental health charity Mind and the CIPD to improve support for those experiencing stress and mental ill health issues. It also sets out the practical steps that employers can take to create a mentally healthy workplace and help prevent poor psychological well-being in the first place.

This guidance, People managers’ guide to mental health, contains information, practical advice and templates to help managers facilitate conversations about stress and mental ill health. The aim is to put in place support so employees can stay well and in work – meaning they perform at their best for the business while the employer retains talent and expertise.
