Mind’s Workplace Wellbeing Index recognises GP practices that are proactively supporting staff mental health

Mind - LogoA recent poll by mental health charity Mind found almost 90 per cent of primary care staff experience workplace stress, compared with 56 per cent of the general workforce. *

When primary care professionals are well and supported, they can provide the best care for their patients. Too much pressure and other demands in the workplace cause stress, which can lead us to become unwell, both physically and mentally.

We all need to look after our mental health, including primary care professionals within GP Practices.

The success of your organisation depends on having healthy and productive employees – valued and supported staff are far more likely to perform better and achieve peak performance for your business.

As the leading mental health charity with 70 years’ expertise, Mind has been at the forefront of workplace mental health, engaging with a range of employers to help improve their approaches.

This September, we launch our first Workplace Wellbeing Index, enabling employers to celebrate the good work they’re doing to promote staff mental wellbeing and get the support they need to be able to help do this even better. The Index is a benchmark of best policy and practice and ranks employers on how effectively they are addressing staff mental wellbeing.

Mind’s Index robustly assesses where the gaps lie between an organisation’s approach and staff perceptions, as well as recognising the employers who are best supporting mental health. Depending on the participation level an organisation choses, Mind can offer detailed analysis to enable your organisation to increase employee wellbeing and deliver business benefits. Interested GP practices have until the end of September to join the forward-thinking organisations already starting their journey towards better workplace wellbeing. Please register your interest or contact the Index team to learn more, [email protected].

Emma Mamo, Head of Workplace Wellbeing at Mind, said:

“In the last few years, Mind has seen employers make great strides when it comes to tackling stress and supporting the mental wellbeing of their staff, including those with a diagnosed mental health problem. We are keen to recognise those forward-thinking employers who are working hard to promote good mental health and wellbeing among their workforce. We also want to promote existing good practice and work with organisations to encourage and support them to go even further. Our Workplace Wellbeing Index will be a great way for us to do this.”

How it works
From September to December, organisations participating in the Index will complete an employer survey to demonstrate the policies and procedures they have in place to support mental health in the workplace. The employer survey will enable Mind to measure staff perceptions against employer workplace mental health initiatives, and from this information Mind will provide your organisation with a gaps analysis. Employees will also complete a survey to give a clearer picture of how this plays out in their day to day roles in the organisation.
