Delta 365 has signed the Mental Health at Work Commitment, demonstrating our ambition to reinforce a workplace environment and culture where all employees can thrive.
By signing the Mental Health at Work Commitment, Delta 365 has committed to achieving better mental health outcomes and a genuine longer-term positive impact on staff’s wellbeing, joining a growing movement of over 1000 organisations including: Avon Cosmetics, B&Q, Barclays Bank, BT, Bupa UK, Deloitte UK, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Historic England, Marks and Spencer, Pets at Home, Santander UK, Save the Children UK and many more.
Developed with the knowledge and expertise of mental health charities, leading employers and trade organisations, the Mental Health at Work Commitment provides a simple framework for employers who recognise the importance of promoting staff wellbeing. This framework sets out six clear standards based on what best practice has shown is needed to make a difference and better equip employers to create an environment where employees can thrive.
Seamus O'Neill, MD of Delta 365 said: “Signing up to the Mental Health at Work Commitment demonstrates our continued desire to support our employees, further opening up the conversation around mental health. We recognise the varied lives our employees lead and that one is often unaware of the struggles individuals may be experiencing. Through implementation of our Mental Health at Work Action Plan we hope to encourage more people to share their experiences and also to ensure we are doing everything within our power to support our employees.”
Mind’s Workplace Wellbeing representative said: “We’re delighted to see Delta 365 sign the Mental Health at Work Commitment. By embedding our six standards in the way they operate, Delta 365 are demonstrating a real commitment to supporting the mental health of those in their workplace. We know it can be hard to talk about mental health and seek support, which is why public commitments such as this one are so important. With issues like stress, anxiety and depression common across all employers, regardless of size or sector, we want to see every employer recognise and address any work related causes of poor mental health among their staff and it’s fantastic to see organisations like Delta 365 taking the lead.”
In Mind’s Workplace Wellbeing survey of more than 15,000 employees across the UK, only one in three (34%) said if they did experience a mental health problem, they would feel comfortable talking about it with their employer.
New mental health research from Deloitte has revealed that the cost to employers of poor mental health has increased, up to £51bn in 2023-24 compared to £45bn in 2019, and investment in workplace support and interventions remains a key issue. The pandemic has changed our ways of working, and Deloitte’s findings show almost two-thirds of people (63%)report they have experienced at least one characteristic of burnout—feeling of exhaustion, mental distance from their job, or decline in performance at work.
Mind’s Workplace Wellbeing representative added:
“Many leading employers have found that making a strategic commitment to the mental wellbeing of their workforce not only benefits their staff but also their bottom line, improving productivity and staff retention. Rates of burnout, anxiety, and depression are at record levels. With one in six British workers experiencing a mental problem, now is the time for employers to make a change and start creating more mentally healthy workplaces.”
