Thriving at Work: everything you need to get started
Thriving at Work: the Stevenson/Farmer review of mental health and employers was published in October 2017. Commissioned by the UK Prime Minister, it looked into how employers can better support all employees, including those with poor mental health or wellbeing, to remain in and thrive at work.
The Government accepted the report entirely and, in the time that followed, companies and institutions across the UK have begun focusing on the recommendations in Thriving at Work.
A national Leadership Council has been established to keep the momentum going and lead the way in embedding good practice in organisations of all sizes.
But, with such a wide-ranging review, it can be difficult to know where to start in your own context. We’ve collected together the key documents that should help you get to grips with the core and enhanced standards, consider how they could apply to your workplace, and check and demonstrate how you’re doing.
