Mental Health and Wellbeing at Work
For employers, managers and team leaders
"Employers bear the primary responsibility for establishing the conditions and practices in the workplace which minimise the likelihood of people being made ill by their jobs.......there is also a compelling case for organisations of all sectors and sizes ....to embed health and well-being at their heart and to create an empowering and rewarding work environment for all employees." Dame Carol Black. ‘Review of the Health of Britain's Working Age Population’
