During April, the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) Working Minds campaign is inviting employers to follow five simple steps that can help to prevent and reduce workplace stress.
The Working Minds campaign involves 5 Rs:
- Reach out and have conversations.
- Recognised the signs and causes of stress.
- Respond to any risks you have identified.
- Reflect on actions you’ve agreed and taken.
- Make it Routine
Employers are being encouraged to focus on one R for each week of the month. The Working Minds campaign is designed to help employers meet their legal duty to prevent work related stress and support good mental health in the workplace. It includes a range of tools that includes free online learning, Talking Toolkits, risk assessment templates and examples.
