Mental Health at Work Commitment Standard 6 resources
Key people in your organisation must understand that wellbeing and engagement are things that can be recorded and reported on as a key aspect of your company’s performance. Using a standardised tool or framework like the Index or the Tracker helps you to identify areas to focus on for improvement, often with specific and actionable recommendations. This can create a positive cycle in which reporting, planning, taking action and measuring impact are parts of an ongoing process that continually improves outcomes for staff – and for your business.
Resources in this toolkit:
