Today we celebrate World Mental Health Day. This year’s theme, set by the World Federation for Mental Health, focuses on workplace mental health.   As an employer, we’ve made good progress in improving mental health in the workplace. We’ve introduced hybrid working, flexible work patterns, provided fruit in the office, organised social events, conducted online training and offered access to Westfield Health, which includes valuable services like counselling sessions.   We introduced dedicated trained Mental Health First Aiders to support staff, we encourage conversations about mental health in the workplace, and are committed to continuing our efforts in this area.   However, it is equally important for each of us to take care of our own mental well-being and support our colleagues. If you are struggling with your mental health or know someone who may need support, please reach out to a friend, family member, colleague, health professional or an organisation such as Mind.   #WMHD24 #WorldMentalHealthDay #workplacementalhealth #solicitors #lawfirm
