FAQ

Yes. Maintaining a strong company culture becomes even more crucial when teams are working remotely and communication lies at the heart of this endeavour. We can help by being a neutral third party in organizing regular virtual meetings, utilizing video conferencing tools and fostering a sense of connection among team members. We recommend:

• Encouraging open and transparent communication channels helps build trust and ensures everyone feels heard.
• Implementing collaborative platforms for project management and team interaction fosters a shared workspace, despite physical distances.
• Establishing clear expectations and goals, along with regular check-ins, helps keep everyone aligned and engaged.
• Additionally, recognizing and celebrating achievements, whether big or small, through virtual platforms or online channels, contributes to a positive and supportive work environment.
• Encouraging virtual social interactions, such as virtual coffee breaks or team-building activities, adds a personal touch to the professional relationship.

Ultimately, a remote-friendly company culture thrives on communication, trust, and intentional efforts to maintain a sense of unity among team members.

In the United Kingdom, employers have a legal and moral responsibility to address and support the mental health of their staff. Several laws and regulations emphasize the importance of creating a healthy and supportive work environment. According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), in Great Britain, the Equality Act 2010 includes many mental illnesses that can legally be classed as a disability. Employees may qualify for protection under the Act if there is a substantial and long-term effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day tasks.

It makes sense, therefore, from a legal standpoint, to support the wellbeing of your staff.

While mental health first aiders play a crucial role in supporting employees’ mental well-being, there are several reasons why they may fall short of fully addressing the diverse needs of individuals in the workplace.

To enhance the effectiveness of mental health support in the workplace, organisations should consider a holistic approach that includes comprehensive mental health policies, ongoing training, a supportive culture, and access to professional mental health resources. Mental health first aiders can be part of this strategy, but they should be integrated into a broader framework of mental health support within the organisation.
